The Danseuse #WriteTribe

   , ,  30 comments
The soft notes on the flute played a melodious tune and the rhythmic beats on the tabla rounded their synergy into a soul-stirring number. Sangita paid keen attention to the beats-takita taka dhimi dha. She did the math and choreographed her steps in her mind. It was a prestigious stage and she could ill afford to slip-up.

Sangita’s graceful hand and feet movements were in perfect sync with the percussion, yet she felt a void. With a deep breath, she closed her eyes, letting go of rules. She, then, let the haunting flute guide her heart to a rapturous performance.

    There are no rules for the heart but the heart rules.

    I LOVE that Sangita let go of the rules and followed her own inner dance, and thus achieved a "rapturous performance." :) I think it goes the same for writing and for anything else in life! ;) <3

      At least in a creative field, rules should be minimum. Thanks, Nisha :-)

    Lovely post, music, dance and any form of art is at its best when done from the heart and not necessarily from the mind.
