Irresistible Dance Partner (Part 1)


In order to be
an irresistible dance partner
you’ve got to be willing
to be the center of the universe.
You’ve got to be willing to be
the center of the universe, and say
“Yes. Say “yes” to yourself,
say “yes” to life,
say “yes” to joy
and pleasure and delight.

You’ve got to celebrate yourself.
Know that the whole world
is celebrating with you
whether they actually know it
or not.
Sometimes you can catch their eye
and they’ll go,
“Oho, yes! I am part of your party for sure!”
Sometimes they won’t,
but there’s a whole room full of people
and there’s you,
dancing with yourself,
having the best dance in the room.
The best dance there is,
is those ecstatic connections,
and dancing your life.

And Inviting others
to share your delight,
your joy,
your intensity,
your love,
your spontaneity,
your energy.

Knowing you’re it,
you ARE life;
life connecting with life,
life communicating with life,
life loving itself as life,
and everything around you.

Celebrating, loving, embracing,
feeding, delighting- in.
"Shine your light!"
It doesn’t even enter your head
that there could be anyone
or anything
that wouldn’t want to delight
in that light that you are.

That little two year-old just knows
that everyone and everything
loves her.
She’s just high on life.
She’s just gotten the message
that she gets to live her life!
she gets to be who she is!
It’s her exploration!
It’s hers, it’s hers, it’s hers,
life is hers, it’s hers, it’s hers.
It’s so sweet
and so delicious
and so really yummy.
She wags her tail like a puppy.
Yayayaya!
"Life is good,
life is good,
life is good!”

And life is good to me.
I’m going to kiss life
everywhere I see it,
kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss!
Kiss my own arm,
and hand,
and shoulder,
and my own feet.

Kiss yours!
Kiss your forehead,
kiss the DJ,
kiss the floor,
kiss the speaker,
kiss the water,
kiss the altar,
kiss it all;
high on life.

A Special Dance

by Harmony Gates I was lying on my back in the center of the room. The music was slow the lights were low. A ritual preparation. Tuning in: to the room, to the music, to my body. He rolled up to me slowly… deliberately, I thought, and peered down at me; head cocked to the left, mouth slightly open, teeth slightly showing. I'd had this happen before; another day, another dance. He'd rolled up next to me, peering in my direction. I'd offered to connect, and he'd rolled right on past. But this time felt different. He stopped. I waited. He looked. I held his gaze. My right arm was outstretched hand open, reaching in slow motion. Inviting, offering, waiting. Wanting nothing, allowing everything. As if called forth-- his left arm, pinioned to his chest like an unfurled wing, began to extend. His hand, claw-like in it's spastic contraction met mine With incredible power and strength he closed his

Being Embraced

A Description of Contact Improvisation Dance Practice: Achieving inner stillness through attention to, and acute observation of our impulses; our bodily experience. Meeting at the point of touch and exploring, through mutual responsiveness, what movement wants to unfold from an authentic, neutral space Curiously exploring that meeting, that point, that present moment, while maintaining full, unconditional presence. Saying, “YES!” in response to the other, without diminishing our self; without compromising our own authenticity. Surrendering to process, letting go of judgment, of intention, of willfulness. Experiencing a spaciousness that allows full acceptance self and other. As we are. Mutually supporting what is happening. And when there are ‘disconnects’, stopping and waiting. Waiting for that full presence to come into each of us again; for that felt sense of, “Ah yes, you are here, I am here, we meet here.” And in agreement, continuing. Joined, yet separate and individual. Connecti

Where Pleasure Lives

  WHERE PLEASURE LIVES   Just now, Letting go   of mental review and prediction, or even naming;   and simply sensing,   or rather aware-ing .   Even the witness disappears, and there is only the experiencer. This is the place where pleasure lives.   The mourning doves come   in these moments. They fly in and directly approach me.   Time disappears,   Ambition disappears.   Needs disappear.   This open ended satisfaction and pleasure- Its Heart Centered- 100% open;   radiating, receiving, being, beaming, Blissing.   Blissing is a verb! This is the ultimate nourishment.   Why would I trade it for less? It is free of effort, free of trying.   Free of directing, free of reaching.   It is having . I can have it all. I can give it all. I can be it all.   Love will hold it all.   Trust, surrender, trust, surrender, trust, surrender.   If it's meant to happen, it will.   And I will know.   Put your arms around me baby,   put your arms around me baby.   Put your arms around me baby.
