Snake Dance

Most of us think compulsively all the time. That is to say we talk to ourselves. I remember when I was a boy, We had a common saying, talking to yourself is The first sign of madness. And therefore I'm living entirely in the world of Symbols And I'm never in relationship with reality. If I talk all the time, I don't hear what anyone else has to say. Why we could say that meditation doesn't have a Reason Or doesn't have a purpose. And in this respect, it's unlike almost all other Things that we do, except perhaps making music and Dancing. Because when we make music, we don't do it In order to reach a certain point, Such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music, to get To the end of the piece, Then obviously the fastest players would be the Best. So Likewise, when we're dancing, we are not aiming to Arrive at a particular place on the floor. When we dance, The journey itself is the point. When we play music, the playing itself is the Point.
