A Waltz

First of all... Cheers to Martin's birthday! Opposed to the expected ten, only 7 made it but it's all cool, had lotsa fun, shared lotsa stories and even more jokes provided by yours truly. Even more, we got to play with the notion of playing monopoly with TWO boards... god, that would be awesome. Anyways, it's great to see them again, tradition lives on.

Anyways, Richmond talked to us about the Waltz. Pretty easy dance step... i think, composed by three repetitive steps. Got me thinking a bit haha well actually, it was from watching Gundam Wing's Endless Waltz where they said that we, as people, dance our endless waltz of war, peace and revolution, like a cycle that never ends; Us, we dance through birth, life and death. So yeah, I think we're all dancing our waltz.

The quote on this blog was taken from Sandman Endless Nights. Being a great influence in my life, I somehow see my existence as part of that concept in which it portrays. Yes, I have begun believing that there are people that walk among us that have been born since the dawn of time. Yes, I believe that dreams shape the world. Yes, I believe who we are is simplified on the very moment of death. Yes, I believe Death is a release. Yes, I believe change makes you or breaks you. All of these and many others I believe in but this quote somehow touched me more deeply than others. I don't know why but I guess it's the fact that it defines people so much without them knowing it.

We are, indeed, dancing to the music of our lives but we dance to our own different tunes. Some might dance to an upbeat tune while others prefer their slow dances; some would dance with a gaggle of others yet at the same time, some people dance alone their silent steps. But really, we all dance to a common thing and that is our lives, that beat that keeps us bound to our steps, our waltz, our 1-2-3's. What control do we really have? Everyone is born, lives and dies but what differs is how we live the middle. We might all be born from mothers and all die to turn to ashes but our lives define us, it defines our dance, our beat, our waltz.

So I wonder what you people dance to. The music of money? of love? of friendship? or is it still some mysterious melody yet to be discovered? What music is your waltz?

Something to think about
