She was among the greatest dancers who ever lived. Her lithe body traced graceful arcs of light across every stage on which she performed.
Ultimately, it was her spirit that soared.
During her tragically short life Isadora Duncan (1878-1927) spoke often of dancing to music & poetry & the song of the sea. One day she said, "…now I would no longer like to dance to anything but the rhythm of my soul."
She knew that when we live to these rhythms & sway to the songs of our unique vibrations that we all become artists & lovers & inspirers of meaningful change in the world.
This is why I love to watch small children. All of them are geniuses because they lack artifice & can only move & speak with truth.
This blessing of honest expression bubbles up through the hearts of the best adults among us. For the rest of us there are times when, sometimes without warning, we suddenly feel in complete harmony with ourselves.
These are the hours when we dance with the God that created us. Leaning close we hear the whispers of our soul & say to Eternity, "Yes. In these moments I am human."
