what makes you happy

Post Reply New Topic

I don't even know what being happy means. I don't live in the moment, always worrying about the future and what might go wrong in any given situation and dwell on things in the past that could or couldn't be. Always something wrong and I way over think things. I guess I'm "happiest" when somebody actually indulges me in a conversation and is interested in what I say.

I haven't been happy in years. When one great thing happens, it doesn't last for long and other worries and problems occur later on. I don't know if I can ever be happy. Even if I had a girlfriend, problems would probably occur. If I graduated from college, other problems would happen like trying to get a real job. With the way my brain is, it's hard for me to be happy because there's always something wrong lurking around the corner. I wish I could be happy, but it's just hard for me to be happy right now when I'm living a life full of uncertainty.

Four musicians and a caller stand on stage, readying themselves for the dance. You and 150 other dancers stand in line, waiting with eager anticipation for the music to begin.

The fiddler gives a four-note introduction, and the dance begins. "Long lines go forward and back" is the opening call. In perfect unison, you hear feet sing: whump, whump, whump, stomp! The music is perfectly selected to match the dance. There is a drive to the music which holds an incredible promise of great things to come.

Time passes, and the energy of the dancers begins to wash together. It builds and feeds upon itself, and soon there is so much energy that it can no longer be contained. The music is there, too, feeding from the energy and adding more. Soon there is but one soul, one set of feet, one unified experience.

The spiritual presence in the room is overwhelmingly strong. Feet perform magic steps, and smiles are pure ecstasy. The entire room has floated into the clouds, transported by the music and the other dancers in the room. You are crying, laughing, numb, and floating... all at the same time. If you could choose when to die, this would be it. Here and now.

This is the true essence of life; everything else is just a means to get there. Why can't the dance go on indefinitely? Can we not feed our bodies solely from this? All mountains have their peaks and you cannot stay at the top forever. And so the music ends, and you slide down the mountain. It's been quite a ride. Maybe you can do it again in the next dance.

Being that dancer or fiddler is one of the most awesome experiences on this earth. I have been so incredibly fortunate to have been both.

Talking to friends, obsessions (SpongeBob SquarePants), computers etc.
