I cannot separate myself from life.
I can only be joyful and whole.
That is why I dance.

To everything there is a season,

and a time to every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant,
and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down,
and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn,
and a time to dance.
The Bible.
