Single Entity

I have a hard time explaining to people why I love dancing so much. I'm dancing almost all the time, even if you can't see it. If there's music around, I'm dancing. If there's not music, well, it's in my head.

I like to dance because it stops me from thinking, sometimes. And there are times that I want to simply stop what's in my head, and feel that glorious release of moving in exact timing with another person. Letting the music take over in my head until it's just the rhythm and my feet -- no second thoughts left.

Maybe it's the kind of release that people can find in exercise -- it is, after all, my exercise. I think, though, it's more like the goal of archery. You have to stop thinking and let your body take over, because it knows what to do, and the more you think the more possibility of error. The repetition until it just happens the way it should, without thought. Sometimes it's how I work with bowling, as well. Just do it, don't think about it.
