Satisfying what ifs
…was witness to a salsa dancing class one day… its quite a challenge.
It all starts when your sitting down, and the music plays..and you are watching the dancers dance their crazy steps. Its hard not to be mesmerised and soon you find yourself trying to memorise the steps. The teacher even recommended recording short movie clips with his camphone!
The next challenge comes in trying NOT to improvise. After youve learnt the basics, just following them mechanically seems to suffocate you.
After that its just too difficult to NOT enjoy this strange new dance and then sweating it out.
Life is so full of “what-ifs”.
A recent episode has made me wonder more about putting what-ifs into play. No more what-ifs. Instead “Just Do It” ala Nike. This may seem ridiculous coming from someone whos had a lifetime of rash decisions made.
“What If……?” Now i totally understand what uncle meant at the time that he said it, the wicked scoundrel.
