Dancers

A dance usually involves the physical interaction of individuals, consisting of mutual communication, cooperation, anticipation and reaction. We think of people moving together in response to music, but it could be a dance of attitudes, intentions and/or strategies in basic relationships.

The image of dancers has personal significance for me. For the first 27 years of our marriage, my wife kept pleading with me to learn how to waltz. I refused because I wanted to avoid the feeling of being self-conscious on a public dance floor. However, as a really special surprise for our 27th wedding anniversary, I arranged for us to take private waltz lessons. With some difficulty I learned to waltz. I can still remember the smile on my wife’s face as we danced our first waltz together. The music being played was so appropriate; it was an orchestral version of the song, Amazing Grace!
