Shut Up And Dance With Me!




"Oh don't you dare look back,  Just keep your eyes on me.
I said, your holding back and she said 
Shut up and Dance with Me!"
Walk The Moon

There are so many voices in my head, beginning with parents, followed by teachers, joined by friends, and the loudest of all, the critical self. When they are all commenting at the same time, there is no space for new thought. I can not hear the voice of inspiration, insight from the higher self, and definitely not spiritual direction.

Recently at a festival, the song "SHUT UP AND DANCE WITH ME" poked, prodded and screamed until l finally opened my ears to an incoming message. By pulling myself out of the diatribe of my mind, I enjoyed a sense of freedom to let go and become lost in the flow of music amplified around me.

Since then, I have been instructing myself to get out of my head.  It is refreshing to step out of dark stagnant thoughts and into the expansive realm of music. A new cadence moves my feet into an invigorating sense of freedom. My ego balks and resists, but I joyfully exclaim, "Shut Up And Dance With Me!"
