Say your thing, sing your song, dance your dance and get out of here.



Once, a musician came to town — a musician of great but unknown talent. He stood on a street corner and began to play.

Those who stopped to listen could not tear themselves away, and soon a large crowd stood enthralled by the glorious music whose equal they had never heard. Before long they were moving to its rhythm, and the entire street was transformed into a dancing mass of humanity.

A deaf man walking by wondered: Has the world gone mad? Why are the townspeople jumping up and down, waving their arms and turning in circles in middle of the street?

“Chassidim,” concluded the Baal Shem Tov, “are moved by the melody that issues forth from every creature in God‘s creation. If this makes them appear mad to those with less sensitive ears, should they therefore cease to dance?”

I used to be deaf. I would see people stand up and go through strange gyrations. They called it dancing. To me it looked absurd—until one day I heard the music!

Most often, we relate to things and people based on so many influences and experiences planted deep within us from the time we were born up to our growing years. And if we are courageous enough, we dare to rise above them and allow ourselves to experience beyond the limitations of the belief system imposed on us. To a certain extent, I have mustered enough courage to give myself a chance to who I think is me apart from the encumbrances of the past. I listen to the Lord’s symphony in creation and I dance to the Lord’s dance of life. It does not matter whether others hear the symphony or not. They can dance to their own music as well. Or they are free to not dance at all.

I say to myself: Say your thing, sing your song, dance your dance and get out of here. If they profit thats fine and if they don't too bad, but thats fine too!
