A Line Dance To The Music Of Time.

Someone told me yesterday that their life was like a line dance-two steps forward, one step back. I am not sure about this as line dances are controlled by a caller and if you have a control freak in your life who sends you two steps forward and one step back its best to get out of the line. The idea of peoples lives as being like dances does though have an appeal. You have those who waltz through life, gliding across the floor effortlessly dancing to the music of time without once faltering, you also have the jivers who throw themselves and their partners in all directions, never losing control altogether amd whose spectacular moves thrill every audience they encounter, then you have the experts in the Latin American styles whose passion for what they are doing heat up the temperature wherever they go and of course there are those solitary souls who just prefer to dance around the handbag of life being rather afraid to venture outside the tiny circle that they have created for themselves.

There are others of course, whose lives are a bit like the country dances'strip the willow' and 'The Gay Gordons' but I suppose that Gay Gordon and his friends are into other forms of dance these days. I am sure that others can think of other forms of dance that their lives might resemble.

The best advice we can give those trying to master the dance steps of life is to practise your steps as often as possible, show some originality and dont step on your partners toes too often.

And there ends todays sermon.
