Spins of Change

Navy Pier ferris wheel in Chicago

My visit to Chicago included lots of entertainment.  Flamenco dancing.  Indian dancing.  And, of course, the Whirling Dervishes.  Although these dances and dancers have very different roots, and their dances have different meanings, they DID share one common factor.  They all spun in circles as part of their dance.  This indicated movement, change of perspective.  And even if they landed right where they started, they as dancers were changed--and so were we, the audience.  In between the full circle was a lot of meaningful motion.  Things happened.  Things changed.  And so did we.  This is what humor does to us, too.  It lets us enter the dance at any point, and leaves us different people.  We can see at least one other perspective, and our circles become ever-widening as a result.  How will YOU "Get Your SHINE Together!" today?  What kind of dance do YOU do?
