“Too old to dance?” ~ Cynthia G. Creel
Driving down the road she asked me, “What are you doing mom?” Puzzled I could think of nothing wrong I was doing. While I was still thinking she said, “Your moving to the music, why are you doing that?” Now that was a surprise to me, had I never been this way in front of her before. I thought for a moment, the answer had to be no. She thought I was too old to dance!
It was true I had been moving to the music just like I was 18 years old. That was the moment I realized I had been doing so poorly for years and so close to deaths door recently that it wasn’t really because of my age, it was because I was unhealthy. In fact I hadn’t really realized I was moving at all. I just moved to the music as anyone who was young would have, only I was over 50. It had been over 30 years ago that I had had this feeling of moving to music without thinking about it just knowing it was ok to do this in the car at that moment. It happened just as naturally as a fruit tree’s blossom opening. No thought, just a sign everything is moving in the right direction. A strong sign, just one of many.
After a while I looked in the mirror to make sure my hair was straightened out before exiting the car. A larger part of the whole truth was seen. Yes I was doing very well, yet why did I still have gray hair? Gray hair meant the toxins in my body were not being eliminated and if the toxins my body produced were not being eliminated then what were they doing to my body besides turn my hair gray? I would work on this until I came up with a solution for my body to work well enough to eliminate enough of the toxins that my hair would stay colored instead of making me look and feel older.
A week later I watched a new type of dancing, it looked so easy. They made it look easy although I know it is not. The dance troop used mountain climbing equipment and danced on the sides of the building or other vertical structures. making them look as if they were defying gravity. I was mesmerized as they danced and then were interviewed. They all looked so healthy, that was a good thing. Then I thought, I wonder if they color their hair to look younger? I wonder if they had plastic surgery for there face? I wonder if the amount of exercise, although, one great part of the body becoming Truly healthy, yet was all that exercise just covering up other signs that would say there was a problem? There was no way of knowing unless blood work could be done and someone knew how to interoperate the numbers into optimal ranges instead of normal ranges.
One thing I do know if you move to the music through dance you are way ahead of the game as long as you keep looking for signs that say help is needed, then adjust. Change if you want to be Truly Healthy, to do more, to think more, to become more, to fill the body and mind with strength to handle any feat.
Step on the path of True Health to gain more life, to take control, to become who you were always meant too be. Settle for less and you will never know what you are missing. Reach for more to live amongst the heavens, so to speak. A normal working brain can do extraordinary things.
I am still dancing, moving to the music every chance I can. The music just takes over and there I am no matter who is looking. The best part now I check to see if my hair is doing fine and there is no gray hair. That my friends did not come from a box, it came from living a life based on the path of True Health. I know anyone can be better all they have to do is step on and move forward.
