Steps

Expressing oneself is an art.
An art performed differently by each individual.
Some sing, some paint, some write and most love to dance.
Dance when you are broken.
Dance when you have your bandage ripped off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
And most of all, dance when you are perfectly free.
It gives nothing back –
no paintings to show on walls,
no poems to be printed and sold,
no degrees to hold…
nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive.

The moment you could escape to another place
to vacate yourself from reality,
to express yourself as the true you…
more beautiful, more powerful.

Nobody cares if you cannot dance well.
Just get up and dance!
Great dancers are great because of their passion.

We being medicos, let us read and dance in excess
– these two delights shall never do any harm to the world.
