What I love about dance and yoga is the fact that both concentrate on self control and awareness. I honestly believe that is the oh-so-difficult-to-attain key to living a balanced life. Once you master yourself, everything appears so easy and natural. I would think it's very peaceful when you are conscious and accepting of where you are, wherever that place may be.
I took an improvisation dance class today and the theme was taking the leap. We had to let go of choreography and stay within the present perspective for about 20 seconds. I did my best but in the end, I failed to connect to anything around me. Eric said that seeing is in itself a skill. Once you open your eyes and look around, you find so many new ways to move.
Maybe I've just had my eyes closed since graduation. I really haven't been able to see any of the possibilities or opportunities available to me. I guess I'm just scared of the uncertainty. Afraid of taking the leap.
