Finding Healing Together

This video of two beautiful dancers is an amazing testament to the triumph of the human spirit....



I find myself also poignantly reminded that we do not find healing alone, but together, and that we do not exist independently, but inter-dependently. What courage these two must have!

Pia that is simply amazing. The dance performance itself was really special and your reminder of our need for one another certainly helped me to see it in a deeper way.

I'll send my sister who loves dance to see this. I know she'll be as moved by it.

Hi Dean! I'm so glad you liked it...I found it so breathtaking. Their emotional and physical vulnerability is so obvious, and yet there is so much hope and joy in them.

I hope your sister enjoys it! :)

Wow, this dance does take one's breath away. My son found it sad but amazing. There is the temptation to feel pity for them but their courage and commitment is just awesome. You are right, there is so much hope and it certainly made me sit up a little bit straighter. Thanks for this

Hi Lorna and welcome to you and your son! :)

It's true, it's a bit difficult to know what to feel when watching, at least for me it was, esp in the beginning, but then the power and beauty of their movements and it's symbolism just took over.

Hi Pia,

After awhile I couldn’t pick out what each was missing. This is a beautiful depiction of what happens when we do “together”.

Very moving!

Hi Marcia!! :)

I felt similarly....after a while all I could see was the amazing triumph of joy and passion over anything else.
