All Dancers Matter

Those who pray by marching can pray alone in endless competitions. Those who pray while dancing can only pray together for timeless cooperations. Hate and fear can only angry march side by competing side in uniformity of lock-step supremacy. But love and compassion can also truth and beauty dance and sing in full hope octaves of multicolored harmony. Resonant solidarity of ballrooms and street performers singing and chanting and drumming good news gospel resonance rather than bad news mono-marching hate. We can sing and dance cooperatively to angry patriarchal elitist marchers more effectively than merely speak in not-kind shout, and across, and back and forth, flow anthems up and out of all inclusive love songs. This singing dance can, with enough harmonic polycultured voices, become sustained ego-happy filibusters through marching hate, marathons of love proactively singing and dancing alongside those marching through dualdark fear and anger, inviting them to rejoin our dancing gospel choir. For every hate-mongering military march, we have thousands of love-mentoring lyrics, and, therefore, potential dancing lyricists. Anger and marching paranoia are mutually competitive double-binding allies, as are love song and grace of dance mutually harmonic. We can choose to march and shout ourselves apart, but we would more democratically, and gracefully, prefer to dance and sing our cooperative ways together. Those who pray while dancing can only pray together for timeless cooperations.
