The direct address style here felt refreshing, kind of embarrassing for me, like you were calling yourself out but also, of course, implicating me. Many LOL moments.
Felt some David Chapman-esque directness in this one.
Also had some thoughts of similarities between asocial dancing and concentrative meditation, plus every problem being a way of dancing and open meditation.
Loved this. I started dancing a year ago in mostly-formalized styles/patterns (ballroom, Latin, country, swing, line dancing) and I'm still finding my way with the "open" aspects of these styles and with "freestyle" dancing. This felt right --- especially the points that accepting influence and wanting influence are natural, not somehow "inauthentic" --- and unusually honest/real. It was great to see those ideas spelled out so clearly.
