Pasa Doble

A mi me parece que el ritmo en cuerpo reflecta el movimiento del sangre, la vida completa, el amor que desean y la esperanza de las cosas mejores que vienen. Lo descubre la pelicula "Strictly Ballroom"; y la parte cuando el hombre dice que conoces La Pasa Doble, pero es una broma, un fracion de la verdad, y todos le reian. Hasta que la vieja lo ensena, el baile es como un vaso medida de agua. 

To me it seems the rhythm of the body should reflect the movement in the blood, and that the life we are meant to live in its fullness and the love that we should aspire to, and the ultimate hope and expectancy of the better things to come. (It shall be good.)

I only just discovered this mesmerizing movie and am riveted by the scene by the traintracks when the young man says he knows the dance but as he steps out, it's clear that the movements are not from his heart. To the rest is is a fraction and a joke, and he is the laughingstock. Until the old woman shows him where the pulse of life rests as unresolved kinetic energy, his dance is only a glass dimly lit. His reluctant love for the ugly-duckling-turned-swan-woman is kept at safe distance by twenty years of hesitant heartbeats, a halflife of a watermark man. When he at once and finally gives in to the rhythm the old woman teaches him, his life is unstopped as a dusty bottle of wine. He and the young woman dance from their hearts, unsure but pursuing. He no longer moves by his two feet. He leads her, twirls her--two flowers folding together on the drunk vine. It no longer matters what others think. This is the Pasa Doble. This is the fullness of la vida completa.

Live as if this was your last day. For some day that it shall be.  
Love is the whisper in your heart and the rhythm of your pulse.
