&quot;Don&#039;t punish yourself,&quot; she heard her say again, but there would be punishment and pain, and there would be happiness too. That was writing.&quot;<br /> --Markus Zusak, &quot;The Book Thief&quot;


My heart gives a beat, beat, beat
and my head thinks in unison
with my soul.
I must dance.
I perfect my stance, and take a breath.
Movements smooth and big
My heart goes out to a dance
of Joy.
My only wish is that
I had started onstage and not off.
My arms make big motions,
My feet brush the floor,
My face smiles.
I look to the cross
And make eye contact with YHWH.
I curtsy to him.
And walk decisively out,
unable and unwilling
To keep the grin away.

&quot;You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You&#039;re on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the one who&#039;ll decide where you&#039;ll go.&quot; -Dr. Seuss

This is really good!

I like this!  It is about something bigger than any of us.  Dance as a form of worship to the Creator.  Very good!
