Three Minutes to Heaven

Using dance as a metaphor, this collection of creative writings and stories extends the love and joys of dancing to life in general. The author, as a long-time ballroom dancer, draws on lessons learned in dance and links them to everyday experiences, from the way we perceive things, to discipline, gratitude, courteous behavior, and finding harmonious living in the world we inhabit. Expressed in a way dancers can relate to but have a hard time putting into words, often from a philosophical, spiritual, poetic, or abstract view, and sometimes with humor, this book offers an open invitation to become more mindful of the spirit that innervates our daily lives, all through the lens of ballroom dance. Recommended as inspirational reading one chapter each day during a quiet moment at the beginning or end of the day.
