I came across a You tube video the other day. A ballet dance that took my breath away. I’ve seen a lot of spectacular ballet in my time and have never stopped to write a post about any of it but this dance was not your typical dance. Both of the dancers had overcome the lost of limbs and learned to dance, one without the use of an arm, and the other without the use of a leg, with each other as partners working together as a flawless team.
Hand in Hand It’s stunning. Where one needs a leg, the other provides her body and shifts her weight to accommodate him seamlessly and where it would seem an arm would be handy he is there.
Soon for me, I had forgotten, and was simply watching a beautiful work of art. The way a true work of art is. It simply began to look easy, although I know it was not, it had to have been the accumulation of years of difficult hard work, perseverance and incredible mental attitude.
It makes me wonder all the more what we are capable when we come together hand in hand, willing to work together, put our handicaps and differences aside, commit to a positive mental attitude and perseverance?
What kind of world could we live in if we weren’t willing to let anything stand in our way of being the best we could be together? As a team, working seamlessly as one?
Wouldn’t it be amazing to try and find out?
