thanks for your invittion to shre a little of it.... Just share a few excerpts..

I use "dance" as a metaphor for our journey in life... Dance has an energy about it, and is a contanst, fuid, moving... just like life is..
Dance inplies amor interactive... all elements of our actual joureny in life...

so enjoy.... the title of my chapter is "In Relation: the Dance of Connection":


<<To dance is a creation in movement. It is intentionality to commune, connect, and conspire in the expression of essence and being in relation. It is awareness and movement of the self within the fluid, living, interconnected life-context. To dance is to fling
open a door of communication and a portal of interplay between the inner self, the moving moment, and the outer world.>>

another: "improvisation IS b eing in the moement... and learning to *Play* with the moment in adventure, exploration...presence...

"At the age of forty, loving water and wind, I started sailing. I had never sailed before, but I was hungry for adventure. I wanted
to know more about myself, and so I adopted an explorer’s heart, which gave me room to just be in connection and learn. I started
first crewing on boats during races, and then went on to sailing a nineteen-foot sailboat solo. By just letting go of any preconceived
beliefs about myself and my skills as a woman sailing a large boat by myself (which I got a lot of comments on), I could just be in
connection with—melding, merging, gliding in a dance, as one with the water and the wind. I was exploring. Sometimes I celebrated the
dance by heading into the wind, lowering the sails, and watching the setting of the same sun seen all over the world. At the close of the day, I saw the same moon rise that all others can see. The boat’s name was, appropriately, “Windancer.”


and we learn more about who we are, and about the world.... in presence...


<<Letting go of our fears, self-doubts, and worries allows us to be more present for the unfolding. Our natural awe, wonder, and
innocence of exploration comes out to play. Work sessions become brainstorming sessions, a pirate ship that takes you into new
territories, new sights, new wonders; the world expands. A road trip includes stops along the way, just as a hike is an adventure down a
new path. A career is heart-storming, life-storming co-creation.

When we dance, the connection is not about the past, but it embraces the past and propels us into explorations of the present.
We learn about ourselves, and we empower ourselves to create in the magic of synergy. And we learn about the other, our world, to which
we are connecting: “Teach me how to dance with you.” In my sailing, I let the wind, water, and boat teach me how to sail. Once I learned
how to dance with their dances, off we went, into new adventures and places. >>

...... <<within the art of allowing. We become playmates exploring oceans
and mountains. We continue to grow and uncover, discover about our
self in relation, and we do so until the day we die. >>


a yet one more i'll share...

<<If we allow ourselves to surrender into the exploration, then
we see, feel, know, and recognize with our “soul vine’s” eye, the
third charka, gut, or, as I call it “wisdom pouch.” We connect into
essence, the reverent, unfolding story of each other. The soul vine’s
eye connects us to the all and everything. It is our umbilical cord. It
is the site of intuition, our gut feelings. It is here that we “know” our
interconnectedness, our connection to that which created us, and to
our divine reverent humanness.>>
