Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore, hold me close, sway me more… Each time I hear this song, in my mind’s eye I can just see myself dancing with total abandon. It gives me such a nice glow that shows from within. All I need to do is shut my eyes and I can feel the softness of a silk dress against my skin; see the sparkle of the diamonds in my ears; smell the fresh scent of a mellow perfume; feel the warm hand of my partner on the small of my back and I let the music take control… “Shall we dance?”
As the music fades and reality sets in, I find I am still sitting at my desk, in my jeans and cheeky t-shirt. Can you blame me for laughing?
Shut your eyes and it is so easy to see the world in the manner you want it to be. Open them and you will become aware of the contrasts that exist. Those contrasts will tell you how to get from where you are to where you want to be. Don’t get me wrong, I never said it was easy. But knowing it is a start in the right direction.
A lot of my best fantasies are influenced by movies I see, music I hear, books I read, and experiences I share with dear friends. The best part about the latter is that they are the ones who tell you that you can do it, and sometimes even show you the way.
I recollect so many conversations with some of these friends of mine, most of which would seem like nothing to the average listener. But when I think about them, they bring the same laughter that my fictitious dancing brought and an awareness of the truth that they hold within.
Let me introduce you to another of my favorites… The sun is setting on ‘an island in the Caribbean’. I fold up my laptop signaling the end of the working day, and I walk to my private beach. After a refreshing swim in the ocean I sit on the beach happily, enjoying a cool breeze, contemplating life and how it got me here.
The sun has set, the stars are shining and the moon casts its silver glow; look who it is… my dancing partner with some white wine in his hands… This promises to be another lovely evening…
On this note, I leave you to get on with your day… while I slip back to things that await.
Ta ta…
