Dance #15: The Very Thought of You
I happened to think of you today, for the first time in a long time. I remembered an earlier time spending hours getting to know you, crossing your years and mine even across the continuum it seemed, drawing closer to you with each passing day until I knew I wanted you with everything that I am. I had never met anyone like you, and I'm am still carried away by the thought of your presence and grace and your voice and words and... You took me by storm and off to that place of desire and marriage and of wanting you to be the one who kissed me goodbye for the last time. I was so sure. And I had fallen so deeply in love with you that "The very thought of you and I forget to do the ordinary things that I ought to do..." which was to see and to know that you never once loved me until it was too late in the dance. But I've let go of you a thousand times over, a thousand ways. And this writing tonight is to express my closure in the smallest of ways really, and only because tonight I had a very rare thought of you... —The Dancer of Atlanta [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qil6s5HrimE"]YouTube- Rod Stewart(洛 史都华)08 The Very Thought Of You就是关于你[/ame] |

Dance# 7: Rio Rio Pt I
There is a place unseen called Rio Rio, far off the beaten path where angels fear to tread, and where mortal men are lead astray to be emptied of themselves. I remember the agony of a night in Rio Rio, a city of bandits and outlaws and thieves and fugitives and renegades and a dark alley unknown and unseen in the natural world. It was a short cut, I thought, to a better life on the other side. As I walked toward the alley, the soft murmurs of street life and street lights as I knew them, faded in that corner and time where nobody had gone before. That was then... and this is long after, and the time to go back to the alley in an unseen city where nobody saw what happened except God. "Pay attention," God said. "Tonight, I will begin to show you what happened in Rio Rio, through my eyes and according to My Divine Will. Peace be still and remember the color brown per My instructions. In the end, I will demand an accounting of that night in Rio Rio." Now, Johnny Mathis is playing in the background, and more than anything I want to be dancing close with someone than to go back to Rio Rio. |

Dance #7: Rio Rio Pt 2 of 2
The incident in Rio Rio was like a dark stranger who sat in the corner of the room waiting for its opportunity to empty me. The dark stranger began to hiss and chuckle with soft groans as a light between the stranger and me grew brighter. Nothing was to be missed or overlooked. And then God said, This is the lie you bargained for and the lie that I am saving you from which is yourself as the dark one intends for you to be. But it has no claims on you and, mercifully, the will that I gave you was strong to withstand its violent tauntings; you were to be emptied of your self in the alley in the eleventh hour by the dark one. But I watched and protected you from its vileness, reprobate that it is. And I asked nothing of you, then or now, and I am showing you so in My light so that you may see that nothing is required of you except love of Me and yourself and others. You have been tricked by the dark one that you were to emptied as one who was unacceptable to Me. Now, you must face the dark one with My help and the recounting of what happened in Rio Rio. I watched as it and lied and tricked you so that it would reach the recesses of your heart which is the gateway to your soul. I watched agony consume you with its consummate horrors which are lies. I watched as it unmercifully filled your mind and heart with terror in the alley so that you would be emptied by its violent will and discarded as nothing of my creation. This was its grand illusion. God's voice was small in the bright room where the dark stranger waited to take my soul. It did not hear God speak to me as it waited for me to recant and concede to its filthy wishes. I have a secret to reveal to you, now, God said, in His small quiet voice. My secret will release you from the dark one who will concede to Me as all truth and vanish with its arms empty and its claim on you, void. Then it will chase its tail like a mad dog back in the alley in Rio Rio forever. And My secret is this: I love you as I made the spirit within you to be who you are. It was nature who made you in the temporal. It lied to you and told you that you must change to be acceptable to Me. Then it planned to empty you of your self and steal all it could until your last breath whispered its name in victory against Me. But you are made by Me as you are. God continued softly, My secret is that it was I who emptied Myself in Rio Rio so that you may live.The victory is mine, and you have already won. As His words descended on my heart peace began to wash over me. I turned to the corner as the dark stranger came off its chair and walked toward me. I stood perfectly still as it said to me faintly, Admit to me that you are who I say you are before I hand you over to God. There was silence between us— a deafening silence where anything could happen. But I did not shatter or quake as God held me up to the dark one who had a stench I cannot describe. Minutes passed like hours before its horrible visage began to fade until finally it was vanquished. At this, God said, You are mine and I have come for you and claim you as my creature and save you from the lies it told you about yourself. Only I can bear the alley in Rio Rio where men, who are not mine, are emptied of themselves. And I alone conquered Rio Rio in your place. I have called you by name and so you must never look back at Rio Rio or the alley or the violence of being emptied. This is the end of Rio Rio where travesties and horrors are accounted for; and which I will deal with according to My will. Then My love, pressed down and running over, will fill you so that you may begin your new life in which you will dance for joy and glorify Me. And I will toss your memory of Rio Rio into My Sea of Forgetfulness, and you will live your life as I alone have foreseen. And I will love you as I have always loved you exactly as you are. —The Dancer of Atlanta |

Dance#18
Tonight we danced to music from another time. She was in step with me in step with my soul and I with hers. I kissed her long and deep and whispered, "You're one with me, and I will never let you go." Then, I drew her in tightly as if to never let her go. When I opened my eyes she wasn't there.
