A thought about art and stuff
2008-04-21There’s important background to this post. Ready?
I don’t like dancing. I mean, I understand the logic of it and all. I guess. But I don’t find that it’s a way that I express myself, and I find it very awkward when people want me to be a part of it. (In fact, I’m coming to realize that I’m very uncomfortable with my being embodied, but that needs to be a topic for another day.)
So, check this out. These are two people from my church (brother and sister, in fact), who are swing dancing. All those things I said about dancing go double for swing. Don’t get it, don’t like it.
But, there’s something about watching someone engaged in an activity that he loves that makes that activity attractive and beautiful.
So, I’m watching this little video of David and Anna, and I’m thinking, “Wow! I didn’t know that David and Anna could dance like that!” I’m also thinking, “I get it now. I understand why they love dance so much.” Nothing explained, just their love on display, shown by what they did.
I really enjoyed it.
Great dancing indeed!
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Dancing ain’t for me, and yet I enjoyed watching David and Anna dance…
