While you are still counting steps…

While you are still counting steps, you are not really dancing. You can’t be in the music, in the flow, in your partner. 

As long as you are counting the steps, you are in a closed world, a world of predictability, fear, doubt. 

As long as you are counting the steps, you can’t dance. You are neither music, nor feeling, nor freedom. 

You are a will that tries to draw its boundaries and stay within its own world. As long as you are still counting your steps, the rhythm is your rhythm, your partner is only an instrument and the music is a set of sounds from outside, not a transforming force. 

As long as you are counting your steps, you fall into what is predictable. The wonderful law of life is that all that is limitless is impermanent, all that is limitless is immortal. Your desire is to be unconstrained by fear, fear of loss. 

Yet you count your steps again and again. 

You might as well give yourself over to music.
