I Dance the Divine Dance

I begin my Divine Dance by clearing all mental limitations, unnecessary objects, all confusions and myself.

I move in space and I move in light.

I move in rhythm, in form, and in color.

I bring the instrument of my body to its rightful environment, where I listen for the inward music.

I wait for the urge of spiritual joy, happiness and beauty to move me.

I am conscious of myself as reflecting in posture, movement and design the one creative mind.

I am not a creator--I am a reflector.

I am not an originator--I am an interpreter.

I am not a material body--I am a spiritual consciousness.
