"All of the ills of mankind, all of the the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books ... have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing."
--Moliere
Dancing after disaster;
it seems counter to what must be done.
But you can pray while dancing,
you can ask your god
to accept the dance;
you can dance
for those who no longer can.
You can even stand still.
But moving, running, suddenly helping
was what the day was about.
I cannot run a marathon, but I can dance.
And this is what a man with a bomb
could not do,
lacking the skill at dancing.
