Dancing is what we do

In attempting to live a good life, we have a fear that we will fail miserably. Many of us do not know what a good life is, as there is no mode for everyone. One must define what they think a good life is and then live that life. This method is very mechanical, so much so that it may actually distract one from living a good life. Is there a happy medium or will this lead us to run in circles? The end of a good life is to build up an aura of beauty in one's existence, significance to the individual; we are happy and our happiness seeps through to generosity to other human beings. We walk down the street and smile, we look at what "is" and are able to smile at it. This is life, the "is" is above our control. It constitutes the laws of the universe, the laws the govern our everyday lives and uncertainty about the world or subjectivities, "is" is objective. It is all things that are out of our control, we may never understand what "is" is. However we must dance with "is", as we dance in the face of great thunder! We dance and choose our own movements, but it is the thunder that dictates the state of our surroundings. We never take our focus off the thunder - even whilst we are dancing with it - because we are still open to learn how to move in it's face. Why can we dance with such vivacity? Because we know that there are things that we and humanity know, things that humanity knows that we don't know, things that we think we know and most crushing of all things that the universe knows that we will never understand.

Because of this we are open to the idea that we are significant or insignificant. That we may die and end with nothing else. We are not concerned with what "isn't" and we accept what "is" with a welcoming hand. We are not afraid, nor are we attached. All we know is that we are alive and precious to ourselves, whilst we are too busy dancing. Dancing for our lives, looking at what is in front of us and acting. Every moment reminds us that the very fact that we may be insignificant gives our life significance. According to the universe, we do not matter, but according to us we are the light. Our life revolves around our minds, unique to each other. Do you not feel to be the centre of this grand universe?

We know that physically we are not the centre of the universe, but we do not know what the universe has prepared. That is why we still dance, this life we live must be laughed at. As we cultivate ourselves, our life and our gardens, we realize how beautiful life is because the only thing we know for certain is that we will die.

We have to dance, what else are we going to do? There may be no-one to save us when we fall and life isn't perfect, so what can we do other than dance?
