I've always been inspired by the Byrds' song 'Turn Turn Turn' in all its simplicity touching upon the concept of change tempered by the Ying and the Yang.
"A time to sow, a time to reap...a time to laugh, a time to weep.....
To everything turn, turn, turn....to every season turn turn....
Is'nt it amazing as human beings we hold on to everything just like a withered leaf at the end of Fall holding tight to the branch with all its might against the powerful North Wind. Eventually we bow to the laws of nature and turn of the screw. Just like that very leaf that gives up the futile fight and lets the wind take it away to the next dimension.
Sigh! It's this season of change, colours and the holidays that inspires me to think and make alterations in my life. Baby steps at a time i find there is a very easy way to rid yourself of the monotony that daily life present to you. As easy as turning on some music, any piece that suits your fancy. Turn it up as loud as your ears permit, feel the rhythm course through your veins and move your body in conjunction with it. The end result is a feeling of liberation as you sway to a tune oblivious of who is around you and what moves you are putting into this dance, this dance of the free spirit. I came across a very interesting quote from a book i recently read. It goes something like this....
"Dance until you are so out of breath that your organism is forced to obtain oxygen some other way, and it is that, in the end which will cause you to lose your relationship with space and time. Dance tp the sound of the percussion,repeat the process everyday,know that,at a certain monent, your eyes will, naturally close, and you will begin to see a light that comes from within, a light that answers your questions and develops your hidden powers..."
This quote just about symbolises the freedom of the spirit. I gave this little endeavour a try and found the results quite satisfying.....
