Genesis and then dance

Yesterday I wanted to ask the beloved for some understanding, but I wasn’t quite sure how. So with a heavy heart and heavier eyes I walked into my garden. It was raining outside. To seek refuge from the deluge I walked to the side of my house. I had the urge to run my hand against the wall of my house (it’s a rough brick veneer).
It gave me the earthiest sensation!
It grounded me and it curbed the downpour.
I looked up at the sky and then I let my heart approach the beloved.
Today I got the answer.

There’s a yearning to dance and thus create a whirlwind. Yet the beloved is not around to partake of the ecstasy. Because the only time given to me is the present, I did and do dance – albeit, intermittently.
When I pause for breath, there’s agitation of the head-heart that time is limited in the sea of timelessness.
So I asked the beloved: what next - where do we go from here?
