Life’s dance
Life is a perpetual dance made up of movement and stillness. Movement and stillness can only exist together. Although one movement can and should give way to the next, much like a perpetuum mobile. Without stillness, the dance is nothing but a cacophony of never ending meaningless gestures. Stillness is what makes the dance so interesting to watch and enjoy.
