Hello Nidia,
Welcome to the CTC!
This is a beautiful poem indeed.
Thank you fo sharing it with us.

Indeed, tango covers 360 degrees.

It is both sensual and spiritual.
I remember having seen (on film) the moment when the mandala is
complete and with a stick they just delete it with a stroke of the wrist.

What do you think of this poem on dancing by Rumi.
If you have more of them, please post them.
Richard


"Dancing,is not just getting up any time, painlessly, like a speck of
dust blown around in the wind.
Dancing, is when you rise above both worlds,tearing your heart to
pieces and giving up your soul".


Rumi (XIIIth century)
