Tommy Faulconer: Dancing Alone

So my biggest guilty pleasure in life is dancing around the house when I am alone. It is most definitely the most centering activity that I participate in because I simply put on music and move however the rhythm is translated through my body. This is the closest I come on most days to experiencing the divine because I do not focus on anything outside of the rhythm. I just move and feel the rhythm move through my body as it dances. It is in these moments that I can appreciate the creation that my body is as it does what my god intended it to do in the first place. I can praise my higher power through song and prayer, but I could not possibly worship and praise him more than through the moving my body to the rhythm I feel. I never feel more connected to the divine than when I dance because participation in dance is the key to experiencing the divine through the first instrument ever created perfectly.
