    slinkies freeze frame dancer s. meet a favorite stumbler, stocktrader. Here's a small recent sampling of his rich, diverse pages. Please visit. Thanks. Theology of Dance I Dancing is what we should want not only our feet to do, but also our thoughts. Let us be interested in thinking in a dancing way - dancing thoughts - turning and twisting and leaping in our thinking. Let's begin with leaping - taking leaps, jumps in our thinking. Not how do I get from here to there, but rather, being here, I act there through projection, through imagination. I jump, I leap, from here to there and thus I am still here but now from there to where I have jumped in my projection, in my act of imagination. Why is it so difficult for us to overcome the physical fixation of place through the act of imagination in which we jump to another place from which we then look back to where we still are really? To imagine being somewhere else is to qualify where you are, to place the given now in relativizing relationship to the wanted or risked not-yet of our projection where we can and do imagine ourselves actually being. Without doing this in some way there is no sympathy, no empathy, no solidarity, no being loved and thus no appreciation and lastly no joy. We jump in our thinking all the time really; we just don't think about it very much. We turn and twist in the same way in our thinking, so thinking is a kind of dance anyway. ... II Dance is not just entertainment - I suppose all or at least most dancers know that, but it is the common assumption of most people who watch dancing, I think. We may occasionally intuit that the dancing we see is something of an enticement to follow such observable feelings as are the stuff of some dancing, that the dancers are into something more than amusing acrobatics. The problem of how entertainment is destroying much of sensate life in the first world is rather beyond the scope of our present consideration, but it is most definitely involved in it. Dance is the description of systemic reality. Eco-systems are patterns and so are dances. The interconnectedness of steps reproduces the nexus of life. A dance is a system. Dancing can be a conscious way of reflecting upon the eco-systems which compose our world, a seeing of systems, a following of patterns. To follow a pattern is to be patterned, to become part of that pattern and so to experience oneself in interconnectedness, in rhythmic relationship or static tension. To flow within a system, to bend oneself to fit the pattern, to guide the steps which lead the body being - this is all a way of co-operating by corresponding to the patterns of reality. To dance in this sense is to ritualize reality. ... Music and Imagination The Rhythmic Brain ~ DAFUR Help Stop the Genocide in Darfur
