To Dance it to Be out of Yourself…
“To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.”
(from www.thinkexist.com)
For me to dance is to be myself. I don’t think I can go on anymore without it. “What are your qualifications?” people keep asking me. None. I am a human being. A wreck. A ship wreck. A plane that crashed in the jungle – in the middle of nowhere. Broke, but not broken.
There was a joke that I used to like. It is about Russian Armed Forces, but mostly about Russian mentality and absurdity, which surprisingly whips up creativity. Russians have been so unhappy for so long (for centuries) so that they keep laughing at everything.
The joke was rhymed and went approximately like this:
Superior forces in an air combat defeated a Russian submarine in the Ukrainian steppes.
I don’t know how my translation sounds, maybe just unclear. Or perfectly potty? Explaining jokes is the last thing I want to do, because it certainly devalues the joke itself. But fearing that I did such a bad job translating it , I would bend the rule and explain. It is nonsensical. Submarines do not belong on land, they do not engage in air combat. Maybe not yet. LOL.
That is how I feel now. I am submarine. A fish out of water. A need the music and dance in my life for SURVIVAL. I do not have any money right now and I have to figure out how to live and dance for the rest of my life. How? “What is to be done?”
