---------------------------------------------- MountainWings A MountainWings Moment #3170 Wings Over The Mountains of Life ---------------------------------------------- Can I Dance? ============= "You can't dance!" That's what my wife told me. We were going to a party. It was a lavish event hosted by a well-known lawyer. "I wonder if they will have dancing?" Puddin asked. "I don't know," I replied. They probably would have dancing. My wife has never seen me dance. I have never seen her dance. She assumed that I couldn't dance. Can I dance? Of course. I always knew that I could dance. It was others who had the question, especially after they saw me dance. Did I dance like everyone else? Well... no. Was I a good dancer according to the standard of good dancing? Well... maybe not. There was always the one or two fellows who got "oohs and aahs" as they danced. I got more of "look at that!" I moved when I danced. Rapidly. All over the place. I had energy. I didn't believe in mild standing in one place with barely enough motion to shake flies off dancing. I believed in moving. If I was going to dance, I might as well give it all I have. It's the way I live life. If I didn't, you wouldn't be reading MountainWings now. I had to break from the crowd and move all over the place to make MountainWings happen. I had to dance. Some said, "look at that!" Why do YOU dance? Different people have different reasons. When you honestly answer that question, it will help you to see life clearer. It may help you to dance or at least realize that you could dance all along, even when people said you couldn't. A poster with this quote hung on my college room wall. I always looked at it before I went to a dance. "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears the beat of a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away." Thoreau Can I dance? You'd better believe it! No matter what people say.
