Bone Dancing

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"Be open, be available, be exposed, be skinless. Skinless? Dance around in your bones.".... Wallace Stegner

Opening up to life is risky, but the rewards are well worth the gamble. Walls may seem to keep us insulated from pain, but all they really do is keep us incased in whatever agony made us build them in the first place.

Growing pains happen to everyone if they continue developing throughout their lifetime. Even the loveliest of blossoms has to push its way through hard packed earth to flourish in the sunshine. Staying buried is truly not the answer to any question worth asking. Putting your head in the sand only suffocates a persons spirit. Stretching is an exercise that strengthens our bodies, but it also builds muscle in every layer of our being.

Stay stationary and roots will grow... whether you wish them to or not. Stagnate and the odor will overpower everything you touch. Sit at the base of the mountain and moan about how high it is and it will not shrink one inch and you will not get one step closer to reaching its peak.

Take a chance. Beat the odds. Live... really live while you have the gift of its boundless promise, it waits for no man to be ready. Why swallow what is forced upon you, which is what you have to do if you do not act for yourself??? Why not open to life, with all its imperfection and chance a victory instead of guaranteeing defeat from no attempt at all??? Be available to life.... bone dancing is empowerment of the deepest kind. Really live.... and as always.... think about it.... let it ride.... then decide!!!!
