12 www.DesertMessenger.com December 2, 2015 Traveling with Gypsy Jane by Jane Finley writer * artist * teacher (stretching, exercise, relaxation, meditation) I'm dancing through life right now Rock Springs, Colorado This was my e-mail to my friend Bruce: The "Re" line in the e-mail said: "THE MOST IMPORTANT THING" The body of the letter consisted entirely of one question: "DO YOU LIKE TO DANCE?" "Hmmmmmm," came the re- ply, followed by, "Well, I've been known to dance and have even occasionally enjoyed it - prob- ably need a bit more practice - but then, I'm dancing through life right now. Keep those toes twin- kling - Bruce" I wrote back: "Dancing through life, eh? Do you find, as I do, that life just gets better and better?" And being a Unitarian, I began to think about that and ask myself, "Why?" Is it because it just gets shorter and shorter? Or, is it because we're more laid back and better able to accept what is? Or, is it because we've finally learned what's important -- what really matters in the great scheme of things? ~*~*~*~*~*~ Let your life dance lightly on the edge of time....Tagore ~*~*~*~*~*~ Jane's book is WANDERINGS: Liv- ing the Ordinary Extraordinarily (Stories from the Road).
