“Connection and Choice: Ask yourself, ‘Does it Dance?‘”
“Does it dance? Does it affirm life here and now?” (from Friedrich Nietzsche cited in article by Kimerer LaMothe, www.bigthink.com, April 15, 2021)
Consider ‘connection and choice’ as a privilege, for sometimes we have freedom to choose where and when we will connect and, sometimes we do not. Even so, freedom remains to make a choice about “how,” a choice about our values, thoughts, attitudes, and guidepost questions. We do have freedom to choose how to respond to circumstances and that freedom needs to be nourished. Please join my considerations and, a lovely question to guide one’s choices, “Does it dance?”
