MICHAEL JACKSON ´The Poet´ - Dancing the Dream: Extractos / Quotations

DANCING THE DREAM: EXTRACTOS / QUOTATIONS

*Honoring the poetic accomplishment of a very complete multidimensional being
*Honrando el logro poético de un ser multidimensional muy completo


"Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the dance of the creator. (..) I keep on dancing and dancing... and dancing, until there is only... the dance." -DANCING THE DREAM

"Trust is like that -it always seems to come down to trusting in yourself. Others can´t overcome fear for you: you have to do it on your own. (...) Trusting yourself begins by recognizing that it´s okay to be afraid. Whenever I accept my own doubt and insecurity, I´m more open to other people. The deeper I go into myself, the stronger I become, because I realize that my real self is much bigger than any fear. (...) In accepting yourself completely, trust becomes complete. In the space where fear used to live, love is allowed to grow." -TRUST

"Magical children, don´t worry how
Don´t delay, this moment´s now." -MAGICAL CHILD PART 2

"I began to believe in this amazing feat, and for the first time, I didn´t feel left behind. I was the falcon and the child and the saint. In my eyes became sacred, and the truth came home: When all life is seen as divine, everyone grow wings." -WINGS WITHOUT ME

"Hold me like the river Jordan
And I will then say to thee
You are my friend
Carry me like you are my brother
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?" -WILL YOU BE THERE?

"A curious fact about elephants is this: In order to survive, they musn´t fall down. (...) Moving in great herds across the face of the earth, the elephants first spied tiny men prowling the tall grasses with their flint spears.

"What fear and anger this creature has", the elephants thought. "But he is going to inherit the earth. We are wise enough to see that. Let us set an example for him.

So the elefphants march on, and every tread beats out words in the dust: "Watch, learn, love. Watch, learn, love." Can you hear them? One day in shame, the ghosts of ten thousand lords of the plains will say, "We do not hate you. Don´t you see at last? We were willing to fall, so that you, dear small ones, will never fall again." -SO THE ELEPHANTS MARCH

"Even tho I traveled far
The door to my sould stayed ajar (...)
Many a time I tried to break
This shadow following me I could not shake (...)
It was only when I broke all ties
All at once I found my goal
The elusive shadow was my sould." -THE ELUSIVE SHADOW

"When you join the flow, the music is inside and outside, and both are the same. As long as I can listen to the moment, I´ll always have music." -HOW I MAKE MUSIC

"Dolphins love to dance -of all the creatures in the sea, that´s their mark. Asking nothing from us, they cavort in the waves while we marvel. They race ahead of ships, not to get there first but to tell us, ´It´s all meant to be play. Keep to your course, but dance while you do it. (...) "They´re killing a dance"." -ENOUGH FOR TODAY

"Nature, the best of all magicians. (...) She has exposed the real illusion, our inability to be amazed by her wonders." -MAGIC

"Grinning, ducking my head for balance, I start to spin as widly as I can. This is my favorite dance, because it contains a secret. The faster I twirl, the more I am still inside. My dance is all motion without, all silence within. As much as I love to make music, it´s the unheard music that never dies. And silence is my real dance, though it never moves. It stands aside, my choreographer of grace, and blesses each finger and toe.

I have forgotten the moon now and the sea and the dolphins, but I am in their joy more than ever. As far as a star, as near as a grain of sand, the presence rises, shimmering with light. I could be in it forever, it is so loving and warm. But touch it once, and light shoots forth from the stillness. It quivers and thrills me, and I know my fate is to show others that this silence, this light, this blessing is my dance. I take this gift only to give it again.
"Quick, give!" says the light." -DANCE OF LIFE

"Join me in my dance
Please join me now
If you forget yourself
You´ll never know how
This game is played
In the ocean bed of Eternity

Stop this agony of wishing
Play it out
Don´t think, don´t hesitate
Curving back within yourself
Just create...just create

Immortality´s my game
From Bliss I came
In Bliss I´m sustained
To Bliss I return
If you don´t know it now
It´s a shame
Are you listening? -ARE YOU LISTENING?

""How strange," the little fish said, "to miss what is everywhere."
"Very strange," the old whale agreed. "Doesn´t it remind you of fish who say they´re thirsty?"." -THE FISH THAT WAS THIRSTY

"It´s curious what takes courage and what doesn´t. (...) That takes real courage, the courage to be intimate. (...) -it´s being accepting and true to your heart. (...) When you have the courage to be intimate, you know who you are, and you´re willing to let others see that. (...) It offers what we all want, the promise of love." -COURAGE

"Holding on to love is not wrong, but you need to learn to hold it lightly, caressingly. Let it fly when it wants. As long as love is in my heart, it´s everywhere." -LOVE

""Stop it!" the Wall shrieked. "I´m falling apart."But it was too late. A million hearts had found each other. The Wall had fallen before it came down." -BERLIN 1989

"The truth is that you and I would have given up long ago, but We won´t let us. It is too wise. "Look into your hearts," it says. "What do you see? Not you and I, but only We."" -I YOU WE

""Until you can do better for yourselves, you should be grateful, shouldn´t you?"
The head said yes, but the heart said no.

"IF someone innocent bystanders get hurt, isn´t that just the price one must pay for peace?".
The head said yes, but the heart said no.

"Human beings are weak and selfish. Despite our best efforts, these problems will never really end.
The head said yes, but the children looked into their hearts and whispered: "No!"." -BUT THE HEART SAID NO

"That´s what the angel-watcher promised, and now that I have caught sight of glory, I know enough to believe." -ANGEL OF LIGHT

"He knew his power was the power of God
He was so sure, they considered him odd
This power of innocence, of compassion, of light
Threatened the priests and created a fright
In endless ways they sought to dismantle
This mysterious force which they could not handle.

(...) Deep inside, you know it´s true
Just find that child, it´s hiding in you." -MAGICAL CHILD PART 1

"It´s strange that God doesn´t mind expressing Himself/Herself. (...) For me the form God takes is not the most important thing. What´s most important is the essence. My songs and dances are outlines for Him to come in and fill. I hold out the form, She puts in the sweetness. (...) I close my eyes, look within, and enter a deep soft silence. The infinity of God´s creation embraces me. We are one." -GOD
