Dance and dancers are one

 

 

My eyes are mating with sunshine
the cosmos is circulating through my veins
and brother wind does walking meditation
in my windpipe behind the scenes

24 brand new hours
the orchestra of life is preparing
tuning the instruments of heaven,
for those who are mindful and caring.

We are the angels of heaven
come and dance to the symhpony of life!
Let us dance together in harmony -
you can't dance and be in strife!

So join me in the morning meditation
to dress for our mindful dance
in mindfulness and concentration
our souls in a loving kind stance

And even if there's no dancing master
our dancing master is near,
please show me the steps beloved teacher,
of life without any fear!

My dancing master is asking
Do you know the song of today?
Do you know the partners you will dance with?
Do you know the words to pray?

I answer "no I don't know anything"
the world is so brand new
there is nothing I could ever be sure of,
neither of me nor ever of you.

So how do you want to dance?
If you refuse to know just a thing,
how shall your dance be harmonious
how will you move and swing?

I smile to my teacher in love
'cause I hoped he would ask this question,
a tear rolls down on my cheek,
it's the question of spiritual succession.

The trust shall be my basis,
the trust in the wonderful teaching,
made alive by the lovers community
transmitted without any preaching.

A dream shall be my motivation
a dream so precious and protected
a dream of the pure land of heaven,
a dream to never ever be neglected.

A child shall be reborn for all of you
a child buried deep inside me
protected by the mindfulness trainings,
it no longer has to hide in me.

'Cause the openness of our inner child
brings wisdom beyond all talking
with round eyes in contact with everything,
we are dancing, no longer walking.

The purity of our child's mind,
contains love in incredible dimension,
purifying and protecting these treasures
shall be our first intention.

Mother mindfulness protects the child
and the child feels safe and secure,
from far away the music arrives,
cause my child's mind is open and pure.

My body adopts to the music,
paints movements of grace and joy,
I have arrived in the pure land,
an open and sensitive boy.

My friends, please drop your perceptions,
and forget what limits you've been told,
just relax and prepare for the music,
and we will never ever get old.

So let's enter the cosmic dance floor,
spreading our arms in pleasure
connecting with god's wonderful music
to receive life's most precious treasure.

Open for life as a whole,
our dance includes all things,
humans, animals, living beings,
embracing with open wings.

So join into our dance,
we are so much more than' aware,
this is an open invitation,
to love, to live and to share.

Join smiling, moving, dancing
embracing all, excluding none -
exclude not a single creature

'cause dance and dancers are one.
