The Dance of Creation

You probably have seen a symbol of Shiva in His cosmic dance position. You can think of the Tao in the same way. Everyone and everything you encounter is dancing with you. In this holy Now divine energy flows through you. Sure, you always carry your persona around; your ego defines your perspective, the stuff you want to get out of life, the way of looking at things and people, but all this gets completely absorbed in the interaction with life. And no matter how crooked your view might be, know that the sister who dances with you right now will straighten you out.

How different are things when you just sit there and stew over events that might have been, or when you fantasize about finally having it your way in the future. Thank life for the problems you have to solve right now, the weight you have to carry, and the infinite upside you can manifest. It is this activity that keeps you connected with your Self. For most, life's healing forces are subconscious, but you can make this process very much a conscious experience. Life reacts to every thought of yours and you can become aware of the yin and yang that happens.That is the way of the Tao and from that point on the journey home is short and sweet. Life becomes an ongoing waltz once you connect with the Tao.

Water flowing in a river, a stream or a brook is beautiful to behold and is a spiritual phenomenon; stagnant water withers away. Participate in the dance of creation and be grateful for everything that comes your way today. Sure, there are times to be active and engaged with others and there are times to be still and by yourself. Yet, this rhythm will be set by the Tao as well and all you have to do is to follow Her lead. Soon you are about to realize that you are the dance of creation.
