I DANCE
I dance sometimes,
I feel the floor underneath me.
I pay to come to the music and the circle,
take in the moving bodies, socks or other,
touch someone on occasion
or wave hands to greet,
but other wise alone,
I move thoughts around in order of priority,
move feet within the limits
of age and stability,
allow the heat to rise
to the challenges of waking up
stiff hips and typing shoulders
that bear the weight of modern times.
despite or because of,
I am looking at those fears.
I dance sometimes,
it wakes up the life force,
pushes air through lungs to reach capacity,
stirs capillaries into action,
immune boosts oxygen,
reaches deep into where there is no anger,
and I am not frightened,
just aware of vulnerability to injury
or stories that scare,
there is not much to do here in moving space
but explore, learn, process, be kind.

I use the word ‘yogi’ a little freely here because there are other forms of exercise that are also valuable and useful for keeping the body in good condition. Although you may be super athletic and enjoy extreme exercise activity, most of us 50 + ers find that it doesn’t support our bodies as they age. This website lists exercise classes, workshops and body care activities that I have tried and tested and am putting forward because without much effort, your risk of being injured is low …….and they are way fun!
