Tuesday of Infinite Possibilities
I’ve shared that body-movement is my spiritual practice. While Sacred Dance is my montly ritual for release, Rhythm and Motion Dance Workout Program satisfies my weekly need to dance. learn and sweat.
Today our teacher Amara Tabor-Smith started class with an extra umph of inspiration. “Hey, it’s TUESDAY!” She announced as if Tuesday was a gift. Then she added, “Hmmmm…let’s see…What can be special about TUESDAY?”
As I rolled my back to a Leon Parker’s “Calling Out” I pondered the challenge of Tuesday. It’s not like Tuesday is a beacon pointing towards the weekend like Thursday or Friday. The biggest gift of Tuesday is that it isn’t Monday. When I began swaying to a new song, suddenly my sarcasm disappeared and playful aspirations of Transformation Tuesday and Thankful Tuesday arrived.
Then between songs Amara threw us an engaging grin and announced, “I got it! How about Tuesday is: Full of Infinite Possibility?” In response we clapped and “woo-hooed” into cardio hops and leaps. We flew through the next four songs riding the energy of possibility as it united and lifted us together in dance.
When we moved to strengthening floor work, Amara reiterated, “So Tuesday is Full Of Infinite Possbilities Day.” Different classmates called out “Anything can happen today!”, “There are no limits!” and one person said, “What about saying no? Or if we find we can’t.”
As we lifted our legs Amara responded, “My Mama always said ‘Can’t lives on Won’t Street.’ She pulled that one out when I was a kid and ‘didn’t wanna’ do something.” She ended with a comical scrunched face.
Another classmate exclaimed, “Wow. ’Can’t lives on Won’t Street.’ I like that.”
Amara said, “Yes, feel free to pass it on.”
And that’s precisely what I’m doing.
