Appreciation of the overtones

       and undertones of the journey

        – sweet, spicy, earthy, nutty,

        smoky – make the walk along

        the path more interesting. 

       Whether you lead or follow, hold

       in a close or open embrace, follow

       the rhythm or set your own cadence,

       take time to inhale the aroma, savor

      each flavor, feel the different textures,

      hear the high notes and the low notes

     and view the beauty within, in each

     other and in your surroundings.  Try not

     to anticipate.  Open your heart, mind

     and soul to the full experience.  Be. 

     Connect. Create. Explore.  Never stop

    learning. 

    Move as one with the mystery of life's

    dance.
