If you do not have the patience to watch 6 minutes of it, use the following words as a prompt

Delightfully Disorienting Dance

Dance

of

life and death

thrust on us by

mother nature,

enjoy it or hate it,

or, get lost

in finding the meaning of it,

or play along as it wants you to play

Whatever

Makes no difference

to

Mother nature.

Just play along as 

birds, animals do.

We can’t understand

whether they like it,

enjoy it

or have grievances about it.

they just seem to

take it as it comes.

Only,

we

human beings,

Because we can,

complain about it.

Some accept, some go on whining.

Still however

difficult,

unbearable,

or confusing,

one may find it,

no one wants to leave

the party.

We also

try to dance along

to our best…

“So where do you go? Back to the bottle And back to a tiny room somewhere. And wait. And wait, and wait. That’s all.”
― Charles Bukowski

We all need something to inspire us; a holy book, a motivational speaker, a great painting, a work of art, poetry, friends, a muse or a prompt from a WordPress blogger. This weeks prompt from Reena focused on a six minute video around movement. People and cars moving forward and backward ending with hot air balloons ascending to the heavens.

Despite all the movement in the video, my first thoughts were, with everything constantly in motion, do we really understand the direction in which we are heading and what we see on the way. My mind…

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #103 – PROMPT:  I have a video for you this week – aeon.co.  If you do not have the patience to watch 6 minutes of it, use the following words as a prompt:  Delightfully Disorienting Dance.

When we begin to disconnect

from rigid beliefs imposed

we are disorienting from

withering ways…

feeling lost for a moment

but then this is where

the seed of spirit begins

to delightfully blossom into

an aromatic dance of soul

freedom of spirit’s flight borne

While,

The stars may appear serene,

To the wondrous eyes that see,

The chaos we fail to see,

The roaring strong winds,

May unnerve even the stable,

The calm we fail to see,

While,

Life doesn’t dish out our favourite entree,

We surely can alter the recipe to our liking,

As much as progression, invokes applause,

Staying still also involves a process, a commitment,

Perhaps for better times.

While,

A different purpose is set,

For all that thrives on the Earth and beyond,

And,

As much difficult as it may seem,

Calmness, at times of instability,

Perseverance, at times of failures,

Patience, at times of cluelessness,

Hopefulness, at times of unknown,

Leading to,

Serendipity, to those who stay strong,

Luck ,to those who are brave,

Success, to those who don’t give up,

Life, to those who dare to live.

Achievements and accomplishments we may applaud,

Process and pain, we may…

Welcome back to another week of inspiration and exploration!

~*~*~*~

Movement is life

Hither and thither

Moving all the time

It may seem purposeless

But be sure that something lies

Behind our to and fro movement

Life can never stay still

It has to be in motion as is the demand

Of the spirit that dwells in our bodies

For movement is life itself

Staying still a sign of demise

Reena’s Prompt:

Delightfully Disorienting Dance

IS THIS ONE MINE?

You’re always going nowhere fast,

getting ahead, but staying last,

getting behind, but trapped in a bind

Stuck in a rut always sayin, BUT!

PARK IT! Tinkerbell!

You’re not going anywhere fast.

So, Dream your dreams

See what it means

to listen and sigh,

or take to the sky!

Put your cool beads on.

Go psychedelic Man!

Go ahead! Take a stand!

Who cares what it’s, NOT!

It’s just being cool!

Don’t be a fool!

Do op! Do ah!

Delightfully!

Disorienting!

Dance!

That’s the way Man!

Let your spirit fly!

“You checking out, or what?

You’re holding up the line.”

“Nuthin’s refundable baby, nuthin!

“Is this one mine?”

delightfully disorienting dance
of her dark tresses in the wind
oh how they frolic and prance
delightfully disorienting dance
through clouds, moon I glance
how can I get out of my mind
delightfully disorienting dance
of her dark tresses in the wind
