We carry so many things
and not just in our backpacks.
What do we do
with all this repressed stuff,
the head trips
that are holding us back,
holding us down
and turning us
into something we’re not?
We dance.
We dance
with whatever
is going on inside of us
and connect with others
who are doing the same.
This is movement
as spiritual practice.
A dancing, kinetic prayer of connection
to the unpredictable mystery of it all.
