    About this ebook

    It has not been that long ago that I took ballroom dance lessons. I had a blast and took copious notes as I was determined to understand the theory, the practice, the science, the art, and the pageantry of dance. What quickly arose on my dance journey is that dancing emerged as expression of humans living, loving and experiencing life itself! It can invoke warlike hostility, promote team solidarity, reveal happiness or stir romantic passion. You may have noted in your own experience that dancing can reveal marital unity or discord. It’s sad when couples don’t dance together anymore, in more ways than one. I don’t think it’s a coincidence dancing is universally integral to every major societal function were music is involved. Hence, life itself is a dance that must be properly choreographed in the theater of unspoken rhythms. Each of us then, must study, observe and, as perfectly as possible, practice the proper steps. Don’t hesitate to acquire the proper knowledge and coaching as “All” of the dance greats had coaches. We must also continue to develop an ear for music, especially good music that motivates us to get up and get into the dance, in synch with the best moments and opportunities that life has to offer. What follows are a series of poetic “Acts” that each of us may have played roles in throughout our life either as a dancer, choreographer or spectator. Three, two, one...and.... ACTION!!!!

      Dances in the Theater of the Mind - Robert C Saunders

      Hope,

      Faith

      and

      Love

      Caught Wealthy

      Surprise! Caught in the moment endearment

      rendered in rich embraces. A trove of good

      graces. Strip mined pleasant thoughts, golden

      faces. Vast landscapes of tenderness pastures.

      Heaping doses of warmth, feelings beautiful

      in granduers. For surety in a loveless world

      if one has these they are truly blest a lasting

      pleasure.

      Thus, secure such ample supplies of needed

      support and feeling are well protected as

      hidden treasure.

      Before others find and take advantage of

      your fantastic intangibles in full measure.

      Ascending

      Rose of romantic elation plucked from

      the conscience is slated. For the one whose

      heart shapes love in such outpourings unabated.

      Thoughts of fancy take flight.

      Light and free riding the waves of emotion, a

      kite. Striving along in the beauty of the day

      that melts into the night.

      Run, runs indeed thru my soul like a cheetah

      on a roll. My life, my desire meets you as

      now two unique people is made into the

      whole ... Ascending.

      Love

      Is it any wonder every human at distant and

      recent past prospered from strength to strength

      in its abundance, and abased to exist when family

      units lost loves thriving dynamic and resilient

      substance.

      In the present time continuum of human destiny,

      people living without it is never to be, won’t be

      replaced by super advances in technology.

      Forever will it remain the favored topic of

      stimulating talk show fair, enquiring minds

      unceasingly curious as to how to navigate

      thru the challenges love’s peculiarities bring to bear.

      Musically inclined voices produce top notes that

      broche the subjects every nuance and most subtle

      shade, It’s the cement of which eternally happy,

      peaceful marriages are made.

      Sexuality is loves beautifully expressed

      serendipitous side effect, that encompasses

      tenderness and unselfish giving that two enjoined

      would work hard to protect.

      Out of this union sprouts the birth of new life and

      new love thriving, at death love does not die but

      continues burning forever in the hearts and minds

      of those whom hope dwell and keeps on striving.

      This great power is also what makes divorce so

      painful when endured, as it involves ripping apart

      two souls with one heart shared once

      permanently sealed and insured.

      One party or the other love’s virtues abandoned

      no longer desiring them to be explored love is

      what you make it to be, the romance novel or the

      tragedy, hell on earth or blissful majesty,

      It’s the greatest adventure running the gambit of

      human thought and nativity.

      When distilled it summarizes what we are now

      and all we can and ever will be, Intangible

      in principle descending from above, superlative,

      divine, and dynamic .... this thing called love.

      Emotion

      Emotion conjured from the depths of human

      psyche, a beast who dictates never to be tamed

      by logic’s discipline, shrinking of reason’s civility.

      It’s biting and ripping to shreds rationality’s

      thoughtful response, why such a beast exists

      except to add color to consciousness shading the

      gray with white resonance.

      Adding to darkness all that can be made bright,

      gives motivation to begin a task that gives birth

      to curious insight.

      With its endless questions that never stop being

      asked, the source of dream’s, visions and goals

      pushing us forward to task.

      As one human kind we will see what the future

      holds, and as long as existence beckons we can

      invite what unfolds.

      All that is worth human striving and undertaking

      will remain rough with a great deal of risk, since

      emotions respond to the past the present runs

      brisk.

      In the here and now, in anticipation of future

      excitatory notions, it will forever remain the

      untamed animal that got away without seconding

      that emotion.

      Frame of mind

      Tempered cool in sudden contemplations

      of the problematic forces in nature I’m

      humbled by the realization of my smallness

      in endless space, the astrophysical quandary

      of mental meandering
