THE SUNFLOWER DANCE

I watched the Sunflower Dance, a moving and sensual dance performance by an Indigenous dance troupe. It moved my soul and was healing due to the energy that the dancers brought with them. It portrayed the symbiotic relationship of humans to nature from the lens of a sunflower seed. It brought to light how we humans abuse and torture our planet. The extreme weather conditions, tornadoes, typhoons, and earthquakes are a direct result of this.

There are several parallels that have been drawn between nature and humans from times immemorial. As I’m watching the leaves change color and begin to shed, the thought that I’m overcome with is about the humility of the leaf. Leaves provide energy to the tree from the sun’s light that they receive. The leaves then shed during the fall months to provide nutrients to the soil and protect the tree during the cold winter months by decaying. The leaf completely eliminates itself to provide nourishment to the tree.

We as humans cling to our assumptions, beliefs, and values based on the narratives that we hold on to so dearly.
This post is a reflection and question to each one of us about how easily we can let go of our egos that seem to dominate and control us. What is the impact that this has on our relationships and the collective consciousness as a whole? What does this do to our spirit and ways of being? Is it the best representative of the Light that we carry?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments to help us raise the collective consciousness as a whole.
