"We dance..."


"We

, the partially ignorant,
dance around in a ring and suppose, while the circle
, ultimate reality and absolute truth,
sits in the middle and knows." -Frost (paraphrased)

Light verse nonsense or something to ponder?

Meanwhile a patchwork of squares,
the somewhat less partially ignorant
told to stay down some stairs hold the circle exists only in prose

Its just light verse nonsense

No one can dance and remain self conscious at the same time. Those that are dancing
are to be considered the happiest, for they have learnt to forget themselves.

Its not only something to ponder, but to peer into deeply.

Distinction without a difference, Mike, for the annointed: those for whom both living and dancing are inexplicably entwined.

Thinking it may have been William Butler Yeats we have to thank for "... and who can tell the dancer from the dance?"

If there's any activity I truly detest in this life, it would be dancing.

Always thought a cheerful fellow such as yourself was nimble on his feet (if not literally,

at least figuratively and intellectually which is the conversational construct in play here).

yeah some people cannot get into it. The thing to remember is that everyone looks silly when dancing 🙂
