Sometimes commercials are downright funny.  The people who create them are very creative.  I do not even remember what the commercial was about but what struck me is how a situation can sound like one thing and then when you look closer it is something else altogether. The commercial has a couple stating that their new living quarters have a clogging problem.  One naturally assumes they mean that their pipes are clogged or something else is impeding their access to something. Then it switches to see the apartment above them which is a family of clog dancers!  It made me muse about what kind of things we view as blocking us from getting access or having something we need when it is really a dancing problem.  Given my inclination towards any kind of metaphor around dance, I could not help but smile.  Seriously, though, how many clogs in our lives are a matter of needing to appreciate the dance being gifted to us and not the impediment they appear to be? What kind of ideas seem to clog our minds not allowing us to move forward when all we need to do is learn how to dance?  Our hearts provide an opportunity to flow and move through a clog in our minds that we cannot get to seem past.  The awakening of the heart through our breath also wakes up our minds to start by stepping away from the clogged process of being stuck in the clog.  Every dance begins with a step, has rhythm, and invites us to be in the moment with our hearts.
