Dance

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of
Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.
~ Rabindranath Tagore

I like this photograph.  I think it is interesting and striking and it just turned out pretty well.  I also like how it conveys a sense of fragility and vulnerability - the drops could be gone in an instant.  Time is precious.  

And it's something that you have to take the time to notice.  Sometimes we are too busy to see the beautiful things.  And sometimes - most times even - the beautiful things aren't things.  Sometimes they are moments or emotions or kindnesses.

Or actions.  Like when you're working somewhere late at night and people are tired.  And they decide to have a "sit in your chair dance party" because they are too tired to get up and dance.  Or not tired enough that they want to deliriously flail about in front of one another.

We need to appreciate those moments.  We need to capture them in our minds eye.  Or on our cell phones.  And when the "sit in your chair dance party" participants realized you have captured their "sit in your chair dance party" should you ignore their threats and post said video online?

(pause)

No.  Instead, find a pretty picture of a leaf and talk about how great some of the moments in life can be.
