"No matter how much we may love the melody of a bygone day, or imagine the song of a future one, we must dance with the music of today - or we will always be out of step." (Lisa Wingate from the book Before We Were Yours)
As I age, I am remembering bygone melodies a lot! But I think however old or young, the wisdom of the above statement is enduring. There is so much to be said for dancing in the moment.
With the specter of Covid looming for the past year, I think it's tempting to just mark time - always looking forward to when we can travel, go to public meetings, eat out, visit family, etc.. But meanwhile we have precious time to do something with!
And dancing seems just right.
Move into the rhythms of confinement, stretch mind, body and soul and do get those toes tapping! Life is now!
