Her body was riddled with arthritis, and she was coming close to her retirement as a nursing teacher. She told me that she had come from a fundamental Christian background and that she'd never been allowed to dance. She did whatever she could do, and then she ended up staying another five days. Now Evelyn is seventy-five. She's a revered elder, and living proof that it's never too late to start dancing.
Dance is infectious, and there is no time limit on it.
We all dance together, we all celebrate together, and we all realize that each of the life cycles has its own sacred teachings. Each of us in that life cycle has certain teachings that we're bringing through, and certain struggles that we're working with. We can all learn from each other. It's quite beautiful.
