I desire to dance

From the center of the stage, I am a singularity reflected into a multitude. The stark lines of red and blue, the precise geometry, the endless mirrors, they do not merely reflect my image; they amplify my dilemma. Every perfect turn, every graceful leap, is a question mark hanging in the air. For whom am I truly dancing?

My life's work is a performance for an audience. Their applause is a beautiful, intoxicating sound, a fuel that powers this magnificent machine of art. It promises a fleeting sense of validation, a confirmation that I am seen, that I am good. But in this moment, surrounded by a thousand versions of myself, I feel a strange and profound loneliness. The applause, I realize, is not for the person I am, but for the version of me I have built for their approval.

The greatest challenge isn't the leap or the landing—it's quieting the external noise and listening for the inner music that moved me to dance in the first place. I see a dozen graceful facades, each one flawless and disciplined. But somewhere behind those reflections is the person who simply loves to move, the one who found solace in the simple act of flight. That is the one I want to dance for.

This is the great artistic struggle, isn't it? To honor the gift, to share it with the world, but to never lose sight of its origin—the quiet, inner compulsion that began it all. I perform for them, but I must also dance for myself. It is a lonely, necessary paradox. And in this moment, suspended between the echo of the applause and the silent me, I choose to listen to the whisper. I choose to remember the rhythm. I choose the dance.

Do not simply be good; be good at being good

What does it mean to live an "examined life"? 

It means we don't just go through the motions, especially when it comes to being a good person. It’s a challenge to look inward and ask: are my actions truly as good as they could be?

It's not enough to simply follow the rules; we have to be constantly seeking a better way to live, a more effective way to be kind, and a wiser way to act with integrity.

 This isn't just for our own benefit. This mindful pursuit of virtue is a gift we give to our families and our communities, creating ripples of positive change.

When we get better at being good, we're building a foundation for the future, leaving a legacy for generations yet to come.

It’s a profound responsibility and a lifelong journey of discovery.
