To Dance

03.03.2023

Just one of those days
Running
Playing
Moving and exploring nature
Having fun listening to one another
Some say it’s training
And just like learning to dance
At first the movements seem forced
Or stiff
We think and then we act
We struggle to remember the step by step approach we had been taught
But eventually
With enough practice
And heart and soul
We finally get to that place
Where it no longer feels like work
Or a task
Or a chore to get done and over with
Eventually we dance
And if they were to watch us move together with our dog
Explore together
Have fun together
They would see the dance
See the joy
See the freedom and flow
And love and precision
They would have no idea
Truly how hard we worked
To learn to dance
They would have no idea at first it felt like work
It began as training

It became a dance
