The Dance
Posted by Ryan Woods
As we grow up through life we're taught not to dance. Right?
Kids are born with something inside of them that makes them dance. There is no school, there are no teachers that train our toddlers to squat up and down or to twirl. And yet those two moves are standards among toddlers. It's as if God has created children with those two moves embedded in the fiber of their being. And then, as they age, they learn that twirling is not a proper way to dance. They come to understand that the cool kids don't squat up and down to the beat.
How come when I hear music I don't automatically, without reserve, without thought begin bouncing my head and spinning in awkward circles until I trip over my own feet?
Maybe I will from this point on make the conscious choice to do that when I hear a beat that speaks to my heart. And maybe I will also cry when I don't get what I want. And just maybe I'll poop my pants.
Who's with me!?
