Dance
Make each day your masterpiece
Where words fail music speaks
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary
Dance yourself silly
Create
Lift up your voice and sing
Great symphonies begin with just one note
Dancing creates its own music
Draw and the child draws you, take and you talk alone
Music is an invisible dance, as dancing is silent music
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life
Every day I count wasted in which there has been no dancing
Dance smoothes the rough edges in life
