The friend who responded to this peace is one who I just reconnected with in about the past 2 years. As with everyone, we reconnected through Facebook. I remember this summer watching her dance. She dance with sheer love and joy of music and movement and without any notice of those around her. I was not surprised at all when she chose this one. When I took the photo of the woman, I too saw that love and joy the way my friend dances. This woman in the photo didn't need a prince to lead at all.
To my friend- you do not need that prince to lead anymore- let a new prince follow you.
Here is her take:
I love to dance. And while it is fabulous and satisfying to have a great dance partner, there is something special about dancing and getting lost in the music... all by yourself. You can do your own thing, turn or spin when you want, speed up, slow down, maybe throw out that surprise move. There is a special joy that I feel when dancing by myself... in my zone... lost in my groove. It is a joy I create myself... on my own. Sometimes, we think we need or must have someone to dance with us to have a good time. I agree finding and having the right dane partner is important. But even more important is being able to get out there and enjoy the music, even if you are shaking it by yourself. Good music should never go to waste... right?
