WHY I DANCE LIKE HAWK
MY DANCE IS DIFFERENT.MY DANCE IS UNIQUELY MINE. I SHARE IT WITH YOU OUT OF RESPECT. RESPECT FOR THE SPIRIT THAT FLOWS THROUGH AND GUIDES US ON OUR LIFE JOURNEY.RESPECT FOR THE CIRCLE AND MY FELLOW DANCERS, ALSO COMMUNING WITH THE SAME SPIRIT, IN A DIFFERENT WAY. PEACE TO YOU MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS. OUT OF BROTHERHOOD I SHARE MY DANCE WITH YOU, INTERPRET ME H
OW YOU WILL, BUT KNOW I DANCE IN THE SPIRIT OF LOVE. NO GREATER HONOR CAN I BESTOW ON YOU THAN TO SAY, I CHOOSE TO DANCE AND WORSHIP AND CELEBRATE WITH YOU. I PLEDGE TO RESPECT YOU AND YOUR RIGHT TO EXPRESS YOURSELF IN SPIRIT AND IN LOVE. RESPECT ME AS WELL AND MY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE AND PERSPECTIVE. MY PATH HERE HAS BEEN DIFFERENT THAN YOURS BUT THE GREAT SPIRIT HAS BROUGHT US TOGETHER IN THIS MOMENT TO EXIST IN HIM TOGETHER. I HONOR THAT WITH MY DANCE. OUR DIFFERENCES MAKE OUR SAMENESS ALL THE MORE REMARKABLE. HAWK IS MY TOTEM, THAT IS TO SAY, HAWK IS A SIGN OF MY CONNECTION TO THE GREAT SPIRIT. IN EVERY INSTANCE OF SPIRITUAL AWAKENING AND GROWTH,HAWK HAS HAD HIS TALONS FIRMLY ENTRENCHED NEARBY.WITH EACH TRIUMPH OF SPIRIT, MOMENT OF GROWTH OR EVEN CORRECTION AND PAIN,HAWK HAS MADE HIS PRESENCE KNOWN. I WORSHIP NOT THE CREATURE BUT RATHER THE CREATOR, THAT MANIFESTS HIS LOVE FOR ME THROUGH HIS CREATION,FORMED IN HIS PERFECT WISDOM. HAWK IS DEMANDING.WITH HIS PIERCING SIGHT HE CAN PEER INTO YOUR SPIRIT AND DISCERN ANY DISHONESTY. YOU MUST CONSTANTLY ENDEAVOUR TO REMOVE ANY IMPURITIES OF MIND OR CHARACTER, YEARNING TO BECOME SPIRITUALLY CLEANSED.STRIVING TO DANCE IN THE CENTER OF THE GREAT SPIRIT, PURE AND JOYOUS-REBORN INTO LOVE. THIS IS WHY I DANCE LIKE HAWK. TO CELEBRATE THIS CONNECTION. TO CELEBRATE THE GREAT SPIRIT,HIS WISDOM, HEALING POWERS ,PERSONAL ATTENTION AND GUIDANCE. HAWK IS THE SYMBOL OF THIS SPIRITUAL JOURNEY. THE GREAT SPIRIT KNOWS I STRIVE TO ACHIEVE HIS PERFECT LOVE, AND THROUGH THE HAWK MESSAGES OF HOPE AND INSPIRATION,SOMETIMES EVEN WARNINGS ARE REVEALED, IN A SIMPLE AND BEAUTIFUL MANNER. AS SUBTLE AS THE HAWK'S CRY ON THE WIND OR A SILENT GLIMPSE OF BROTHER HAWK IN FLIGHT , THE GREAT SPIRIT SAYS TO MY SOUL: FEAR NOT, I AM WITH YOU AND IN MY GOODNESS WILL FOREVER COMMUNE WITH YOU IN LOVE MY CREATION. DANCE AND BE FREE IN THIS PROMISE. FOREVER BASK IN THE GLOWING TOUCH OF THE CREATOR, AND ENTER INTO A NEW SPIRITUAL HORIZON. THIS IS WHY I DANCE LIKE HAWK.CELEBRATE WITH ME.
