Timera aka Alice:
Oops, it wasn't me who had said what you said I had said ;-)
It had been Dharma...
But I had loved it so that I put the quote on top of my answer - I should
have said: "Dharma said..."
That'll teach me! :)
Dear MO,
You are so lucky that you feel this way and that you are a dancer. Me, I'm
as earthbound as can be. But I'm just learning to dance and fly - albeit I
do it with my mind. And for me it was meditation that broke me free of my
chains. On my search about who I am, I found out that as a Virgo I am to
some incredibly high amount made up of the earth element with just some
traces of air, fire, water and ether. Palmistry gives me an 'earth' hand,
dermatoglyphics says that the 10 arches of my fingerprints make me the 'salt
of the earth' - not a one whorl to spinn a pirhouette - what more can I say
;)
But as you, 'I wouldn't have it any other way', although it sometimes is not
the easiest way ;)
I may have roots that are ankered deep in the nurishing soil of my Mother,
but high up my branches are dancing and swaying with the wind.
Love,
Alice
Aka Timera Tigerheart, who sometimes gets carried away.... ;)
