When I recently saw this hand carved statue in the Carmel Plaza Shopping Mall, amidst a flurry of shoppers but embedded in a delightful array of flowers, I gasped as my mind flooded with the vision of my dreams. I stood, motionless, in complete awe of the beauty that the sculptor had captured. While others hurried by, without even a glance, the dancer reached out and ever so softly spoke . . . just to me!

Since the journaling is difficult to read I decided to place a copy in the comments:

Floating, swirling, effortlessly suspended atop the billowy clouds. Body extended, reaching out to fully capture the mystical sensation of a dancer in flight. The heart delicately pulsating to the rhythm of the soothing music, filling all the senses with a harmonious and uplifting fullness of spirit.

A recurring dream since childhood. The dancer I would never become. But, oh, how I can feel the movement, the grace and the expression. My God given talent does not include this form of art but He has given me the ability to appreciate the beauty and the passion of the dancer.

The dream continues into adulthood. Thank you, dear Lord, for gently lifting me to the heavens to dance my heart away, and then safely returning me to earth to witness another glorious day with feet firmly grounded.
