The bull is my life and the dancer is how I maneuver it. 
 Praying for strength, balance, grace, beauty and endurance on this crazy ride of life...
Maneuver: Perform or cause to perform a movement or series of moves requiring skill and care.  I do a lot of maneuvering these days.  I don't know how successful I am on average, but I do believe I'm getting better at it.  I've been overworked and under rested and I am frazzled, but trying my best.  I had the chance to sleep in today for the first time in over a month.  I slept 11 hours!  Most of those hours were spent in bad dreams... of being insufficient in basically every area of my life... being a wife, a friend, a believer, a mother, a business manager... you name it, I am insecure.  I want the strength of the woman in this photo, the strength to maneuver anything with grace and confidence.  What I want more is to have a life less like the reckless black bull and more like a peaceful white dove.  Thankfully, in my moments of greatest despair and need, the Spirit shows herself to me and gives me the peace and confidence I need to keep going.

The winds of the heavens dance between you




But let there be spaces in your togetherness and 
let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
~ Kahlil Gibran
