How can we know the dancer from the dance?

William Butler Yeats

Dance is the movement of the universe...

Isadore Duncan

At the still point of the turning world… Neither from nor towards, at the still point there the dance is… Except for the point, the still point, there would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

T.S. Eliot

To watch us dance is to hear our hearts speak.

Hopi Indian Saying

Dance till the stars come down from the rafters
Dance, Dance, Dance till you drop.

W.H. Auden

A small boy sat near the edge of this man-made pond —He stared at the fish and began singing, at first quietly and then with relish.

The animals went in two by two, hurrah, hurrah,
The animals went in two by two, hurrah, hurrah.
The animals went in two by two,
The elephant and the kangaroo
And they all went into the ark, for to get out of the rain.


His mother and I smiled as he continued singing right up to ten. Did I imagine the fish dancing?

“Human beings, vegetables, or comic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible player”

Albert Einstein

Peche You might of... but that's the wonderful thing about imagination... it doesn't matter ;)
Wonderful art, as always, Lynda... I adore the third shot - the colour, the blur... I can see the fish moving side to side :)
