The journey of life can be very uncertain and unpredictable - it can leave us frightened and vulnerable. Life is very precious indeed, and at the end of the day we need health and wellness to enjoy our lives to the fullest. I arrived at my partners the other day, who has been unable to walk or get out of bed for last 6 months or so because of treatment for cancer, but she has gradually been getting stronger, and has never given up hope, which has been an invaluable gift for me as well. I hear her music all the time nowadays.
As I've said, she's been getting a bit more mobile, aided by her trusted zimmer frame, but increasingly, casts it aside. She has always liked dancing, has missed not going out to musical soirees for a bit of a shuffle and a groove, so imagine my surprise when I glanced her through her kitchen window, and could hear the sound of the Peatbog Faeries blasting from the stereo, their she was in what was an uplifting moving experience, dancing unaided, reminding me that despite the odds she still sparkles and shines her light in abundance. She did not do this for long, but it was a joy to behold, and each day now walking has slowly got more easier, more natural, but still a long way to go.
Everyday now she will practice a little unaided dance for ten minutes or so , that will be movement enough I hope to sustain her and remind herself that there is always hope on the horizon. Bucket loads of it. I have witnessed it in her laughter and smiles. Our bond gets stronger too, which is not a bad thing, I will end with a quote by Albert Einsten :-
" We dance for laughter, we dance for tears,
we dance for madness,we dance for fears,
we dance for hopes, we dance for screams,
we are the dancers, we create the dreams."
