Its hard not to smile when you are doing the Samba, especially carrying silly fish shaped maracas. Nothing changes a mood like dancing. No matter how bad your day is shaking your back side is just plain fun. Sway your hips, shimmy your shoulders, get into the groove of life and you have cured what ails you.
The act of dancing open us up to the rhythms of life. Our day to day lives are a testament to how off kilter our lives are, how out of sync we are with the natural flow of life. We are so caught up in the rat race that we can no longer hear the sounds of the distant drums. The drums that beat like our hearts and sway gracefully to the sounds of the melody that is life.
Not all of us are deaf to the music of life. You see people who sway to the music, they walk almost with a dance in their step. Those are the people with big smiles on their faces and seem to exude joy. So what happens to the ones who can't hear the rhythm? You often see them with their heads hung low and their shoulders rolled forward like the weight of the world is on their shoulders. The best way to get rid of the weight of the world being on your shoulders is to shimmy those suckers until that world just pops right off and goes back in space where it belongs.
So if you are reading this and feeling a little low. Shimmy your shoulders, shake your bottom, I guarantee you smile, and so will whoever is watching you.
