dance like no one is watching........
dance like no one is watching........ today is an odd day.......just had a short but very powerful storm.......winds whipping, torrential rain and a drop of 10 degrees at least. now the sun is out and it's very still............eerily still. i had a friend here when the storm hit and we stood on the porch, feeling the wind driven rain against our faces, quietly talking...enjoying the moment. as we stood there, my neighbor came out on the porch, looked at the sky, cursed loudly and with great passion then disappeared back inside his house. i'm a bit worried for him...he's older and has early Alzheimer's and this week his who lives in the upper apartment of his house is away. my friend suggested we ask him to come to dinner with us and i dashed through the rain to proffer the invite. i knocked for at least 5 minutes with no response. now, i'm worried and i start yelling his name. my friend comes over and she peeks in the back porch window and spots him in the kitchen, naked as a jay bird and dancing to an ipod. we slunk away............ i still want to know why he was cursing the rain, but i think i'll wait until his is home to go ask. right now, he seems to be enjoying his own mini-vacation. grins You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

Ah...to be free enough to dance naked!! I think daytimefun4uNme2 has it right!! "All you'll get from strangers is surface pleasantry or indifference. Only someone who loves you will criticize you." - Judith Crist, crack film critic

Its only too bad that he didn't just dance in the rain..nothing like letting it all go in the middle of a thunderstorm...

Maybe he was mad because he had been planning on dancing naked *outside*

When I was overseas, I lived alone in my apartment years ago, I used to turn up the music and just dance. I lived on the 2nd floor, had 4 large windows, and there was an apartment across the street from me with a floor level higher. I didn't care if anyone watched, I just immersed myself in the music and danced. Lucky to be lost in memories.

Oh wow! Early Alzheimer's or not he still has moments of joy. I think I'll dance naked to celebrate! warm xx

Maybe that's when I'll be able to love as if I've never been hurt...when I've got Alzheimer's. (I can already dance as if no one's watching, because the delight I get from moving my body is greater than my embarrassment for looking silly.) It's a lovely story, and I thank you for sharing it. BPB
