I think i discovered a, if not the missing ingredient to my dancing/movement. I was struggling a bit to find the motivation for my mundane movements, or for movement for movement's sake, and i felt very close to a breakthrough because i was really in the mood for moving but the approach was elusive. I kept ending up a little frustrated because the mood for movement was there but i felt a bit paralyzed by the lack of angle of approach. And i finally got it, or some big part of it it feels like. Most likely having intercourse with Baby Love helped a lot with this discovery. It's fun. The missing ingredient was fun. Movement for play's sake. I always grasp these concepts with a very serious artsy fartsy hue, but what's needed maybe is a little less seriousness and a little more play. At least to get me started and it helps with the general mood as well. Not like i haven't noticed articles of fun in other people's dances, but usually i dismiss it disparagingly. I guess i had to find it on my own, or applied to my own system to integrate it. Now i wrote it down on my focus board. Fun/play. I've done it myself a few times, mostly when out dancing with Baby Love and for her benefit, to make humor. Now i will distill it's essence in time for my mind/body practice. On the musical instrument, on the other hand, when i play without focus, the fun is always an undercurrent. But with dancing, i guess so far i haven't addressed this directly. There already was the mod of expressing humor, but i guess "fun" is something more general and more embracing than "humor", which is more designed to make someone laugh. Right? Or at least smile. "Fun/play", on the other hand, has to purpose to appeal to my better nature.

[..] since discovering this element, i can't stop moving, it's so fun and interesting, feels like a whole system, and this <fun> factor ties every other one together, they all come alive all at once. I added playing a musical instrument to this system.
