The beat.
To start your feet….”
A couple of lyrics’s from on old song called, “That’s Dancing” by Henry Mancini. What I remember the most from dancing to that song is the beginning heartbeat….thumping….thumping….like the sound of a drum, along with the clickety, higher pitched sounds and rhythms from our tap shoes.
(In fact, I’m dancing some of those steps in my kitchen. Right. Now. Hey. Itβs my floor.)
But this also made me think about our own internal “music.” That precious heartbeat that rhythmically travels through us and literally keeps us moving. Our hearts beat to different rhythms in each of us. It responds to our feelings and our activities, our thoughts and our movements.
Place your hand over your heart, over your child’s heart, over your parent’s heart. Stop. Listen. Feel it. Hear it. It’s a GIFT we carry around everyday. We literally owe our life to it in a physical way, yet if we listen in a soulful way….you can hear the whispers of LOVE….when your heart flutters at simple moments in your life.
On this Valentine’s Day, embrace your heart, your passion, your LOVE in whatever way YOU want.
Listen to the “heartbeat” of YOUR internal drum
Then DANCE!

Lovely blog. Visited via Good Acorn on FB. Like Arnie, I’ll be back (dreadful parent joke, sorry!)
Thank you!! Love the Arnie reference…. Now I keep repeating it with my best accent. π
There’s so much internal music to listen to! Love it!
I want to hear the song you are talking about as I read your blog! Have a player?
Thank you! I have a you tube link to the song, working on adding it. Still learning the “steps” of the blog world! π
