The Dance

The Dance is a book of moving poetry, written by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. In this compelling book, Oriah challenges readers to live with passion, energy and honesty. The key, says Oriah, is to savor the everyday world of family, friends, love and work with clear minds and open hearts. When we are physically or emotionally stressed and our spirits are depleted, we must realize that happiness has not vanished, but is buried beneath the clutter of our harried lives. With rare courage and honesty, Oriah unveils the challenge of her inspiring poem through compelling stories from her own experience, offering us tools to become fully the person we already are -- not ways to change. To dance --to live in a way that is consistent with our longing--is to discover a gift that we can give ourselves again and again over a lifetime.
