Our culture teaches us to see with eyes held to the tightest of focuses and hear the world chopped up into tiny things like words and syllables. With these tiny slices of reality we try to grasp the world but we end up touching only a minuscule bit of it.
Waiting for us just outside these limiting fixations is such a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and beauty that we can scarcely imagine it. But we can unlearn these cultural fixations. We can relax our eyes and let in more of the light. We can cease to hear the words and start to hear the song. We can perceive how all of nature dances, singing a sublime complexity in harmony with the fundamental pulsations of life.
And as we learn how to experience this dance of life, we can feel our body resonate with these primal pulsations of our true nature. We can begin to relax the restraining armour, which we had constructed of our fear and our frustrations.
We realize that we can participate with this vision, we can hear this tune and remember… we are dancing too.
