In life we are all partners to one extent or another. Professional-client, husband-wife, parent-child, and leader-follower. With all the various roles it does come down to giving and receiving. We never truly are ONLY one or the other.
Sometimes we take the lead, other times we let others lead us. An unbalanced relationship of any kind would have us stuck in one or the other too much of the time. Excessive givers could be considered martyrs or in terms of unrespected givers, doormats. Excessive receivers would be considered selfish or self-centered and arrogant.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing lightly in one direction or another.
It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
Be good at the dance of life. Feel the rhythm and go with the flow. Afterall it is sweet music they are playing and it is YOUR song. And when called to sit it out or dance, DANCE!
