Meaning of life

Words and dance Words and dance – cerebral work and harmonious motion – seem to be a priori at two opposite ends of a spectrum. Yet, I have had ample opportunity, in my not so short life, to ponder on the special relationship I have always had with both, and on the interconnection I see in them.
