Little moments that make you dance?

Question

Moments when the veil gets thin?
When the mystical shows through the mundane?
Moments of total, unexpected joy?

I remember standing on the bank of a river, watching a damsel fly. Beautiful enough, anyway, but the unity, the intensity, the spirituality of the moment lifted me right out of myself.
(No, I wasn't 'on' anything. The nearest I ever get to a mind altering substance is a cup of Darjeeling tea).

Do you get little moments that make you dance?
Would you share?

Answer 1

Thanks for sharing the moment with us :-) A couple nights ago, sitting outside with the fading colors of sunset behind me, as the twilight sky began to darken in front of me, the sea of fireflies began to arise from the ground. Tiny golden twinkling lights each going higher and higher, streams of glitter heading to the sky. During this moment two bats darted about in an erratic yet graceful way. Two very different species dancing to welcome the night and enticing me to dance alongside. When you appreciate these moments you build a bridge of connection which truly lifts one into the moment.

Answer 2

Were you really lifted out of yourself?
Maybe you didn't like it much that's why you got back into yourself so quickly. or is a just a figure of speech?
If that happened to me I would have flown away to the Astral plains to view all the beauty that there. In my opinion I would have achieved a great gift.

Yes I do get little moments that make me dance, when i hear a piece of music that compels me to dance, may be as long as three minutes but it's still only a moment.

Answer 3

Jon, frequently! I found the secret many years ago, inadvertently. I spend much of my time in such a state.

I'll share with you in private. I don't have a group, a book, anything to sell or trade. I'm not religious. I know God exists rather than simply believe due to personal experience.

I have no mission, no divine message. I'm a guy with a wonderful gift that was given me, that I know share with my wife and few other people.

I love you all, how can I not share it with you! However, doing it in public is asking for at least twenty wasted emails dealing with people looking to use me as their personal scratching post.

I see from what you've written that you're ready for me.

I'll be happy to walk with you a ways until you find something farther along to chase.

Keep searching, regardless. It gets better once you know what you are looking for, and then better again. And again.

I was sitting in church listening to the sermon when a monarch butterfly flew in the door, fluttered right straight up the centre aisle and lit on the Bible on the pulpit. We all sat transfixed at the beauty of this creature (seldom seen in the city centre where I live, our climate is too hot for butterflies after about March) who seemed to be an angel come to visit us. After a few moments, he took wing again, and fluttered down the aisle and out the door. There was about 30 seconds of continued silence and then the entire congregation erupted in applause and praise to God.

Answer 5

Well Jon, I lie in wait for that too.

Such as taking great joy in the sychronicity of this question, that is right there with Sunman's about
'the dance'

Just to let you in on alittle something.
Everything is the dance to me. Seeing as how our lifetimes our packed with little moments.

weave alittle amazement into all of it.

Answer 6

Finally getting a critical piece of machinery going and hearing it operate after the tool pusher has spent the last fifteen minutes hanging over your shoulder telling you 1) how much a minute the downtime is costing 2) how we are all going to lose our jobs 3) that he can hear the crew boat coming to take us to the bank 4) How tomorrow morning we are going to have to get a job at Wally World greeting people at the door. I was the electrician.

Answer 7

there have been some exquisite moments that have made my spirit soar!

this evening for instance, the sky was awash with reds and pinks, the sun lighting up the clouds before it set... i found myself within the atmosphere for a while..

and just this week, whilst visiting Cornwall, as i walked widdershins around The Hurlers (3 standing stones circles), the ancient power seeping out from the stones made my heart beat a little faster, and i felt again the bond with the ancestors, the spirits of the circles, and the veil was temporarily lifted

pure bliss!

thank you for reminding me of these moments Jon!

blessed be

Answer 8

any beautiful sunset.
any creative hobby.
anything that hasnt been done
or said or lived before.
you know you'll never see
something quite like it again.
at least not in our lifetime.
art makes me do little dances.
because i get art & none of my
other friends do. it makes me
special. & it feels great to know
that one day i might find that
right man who likes art too.
im a dancer so not only when
dancing do i dance, but through
life. or so I try. i do have a problem
with dancing when im angry to let
out emotions & not stretching &
waking up sore the next morning =/.
haha. anyways. great question.

Answer 9

Severe thunderstorms. I can't suffciently put it in words, but the feel and the effect they have coupled with a scientific understanding of what they do lifts the veil. There's nature working it's magic, whether you can scientifically live with calling it magic or not. (Nature doesn't care, you puny human!)

Answer 10

Nice!
Yes, Jon, ( just reading your details puts me there.) I've been having those moments more and more lately thanks to, what Daz Mazter calls, the Band of Brothers (gender all-inclusive :-) I've had plenty of solo experiences. Enough to last me lifetimes, I think. It's the 'where two or more are gathered' that I'm interested in and get the most joy and shift these days.
Let us dance the eternal dance.
