Dancing Shiva

The above image is that of Nataraja, depicting the Hindu god Shiva, in a
cosmic dance. This dance, called
Tandava, is the source of the cycle of creation and destruction of the
Universe. When Shiva's foot rises off
the ground the universe is created, so
long as his foot remains in the air, the universe persists, but when Shiva's
dance continues and his foot strikes
the ground, time and space come to
an end--only to begin again.

It is too easy to succumb to being an observer of all of this amazing input in life. It is too easy to just watch the show of life, to just take it all in. I could stand in a crowd at the right concert and be so supremely content to just be in the crowd, to feel a part of that crowd, to move with the music and lose yourself in things so completely. But somebody has to play the music. And man. Imagine what it must be like to have that energy come out of you that fills a huge concert hall with people who would say something like, "Man, listen to that album, it's AMAZING!" Ah, but to be the creator of AMAZING! That is the goal.
