 Allen James' reading from The Journey: A Calendar Book for February 6th is;

"Dance" (James, 2012).

 What an importance today's reading is: DANCE.  I wouldn't argue during every time period of the existence of mankind on this planet, taking the time to DANCE has been a difficult concept for which to allow time.  Of course we have our celebratory events when we take time to literally dance and have an enjoyable social time; but to take the time out of our lives to truly DANCE in our spirits or hearts, seems to come along with less and less frequency with age or even with generational perceptions of DANCE (yes, the mosh pit is considered DANCE for some).


In the Eskimo/Yup'ik culture where I live and work, native dance is one of Native Alaskan's most powerful traditions to this day. Dancers are the instruments which express the art of communication visually through dance. Dances are used for ceremonies, courtship, story telling, or a permanent remembrance of a special person. Some native songs belong to tribes and are considered sacred and are tribe specific. Many culture groups believe songs are to be kept, shared, traded, and even lost in war.

The DANCE to which I'm referring can be compared to the times of our days; (yes, I said days, not months or years) those times of each day of our life where we embrace and experience our individual FREEDOM).  Just as when we DANCE literally; we allow our bodies and minds to unite with the sound of the beat of music.  In our daily DANCE we release our minds and feel LIFE deep inside our souls.

In the Good Book we are enlightened to the fact in life there is "a time to mourn and a time to dance" (Ecclesiastes 3:4).

Life brings us different times of life. FREEDOM comes in all sorts of ways. It first begins in our minds. The way we think matters. Believing in ourselves and seeing ourselves strong is important. Confident people are those who know who they are where they should be in their lives and living in a way which builds them and others up. Allowing ourselves the liberty to "dance" fulfills a true determination to keep doing those things and allow the Spirit Within FREEDOM in our lives.

We must cease from allowing the world's ills the space in our lives to overwhelm us.  DANCE....each day....positivity and personal success is assured of coming our way.

Quyana!  Keep looking up.   :) AJ
