Amara recently shared that when Gabrielle was in Olympia she taught about how to "slow dance with the chaos so dominant in our world today." That statement reminds me of what I do sometimes during Chaos in the dance. When I'm not feeling enough energy to dance fast and hard during Chaos I'll try to find a slower rhythm that complements all the wildness that is there in the music. And usually the music itself, as if to accomodate my need, gives me that slow rhythm. I can find a beat that is constant, steady, and slow and that actually supports the frenzy that is also there in the song. I can hear the driving energy and feel it, but when I need to I can dance slower and still be in synch with Chaos. It's beautiful how that works.
