I never caught onto the “So You Think You Can Dance” craze – probably because I was always outside the US, thinking I could dance – at salsa clubs or under the stars in a garden in Central America.  My friend Rachel suggested the song, “If It Kills Me” by Jason Mraz as an all-time favorite love song, and seeing it paired with this painfully beautiful movement on an episode (season 6) of “So You Think You Can Dance” made for the complete package of emotional music and movement expression.

Love isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth the struggle and frustration it can create in our lives.  Why give up on love?  Is there really anything else worth living for?  The movement of these dancers embodies the pain and the beauty of loving someone with all your heart, even “if it kills (you.”  - emotionally that is …  When it comes to our heart-felt efforts in living this life, in the end, love is all there is. So even if it hurts sometimes, do we really have another choice in the matter?  What else is worth it but love?

And with that, I send love to you all and hope you enjoy this quick piece from “So You Think You Can Dance” and I hope we challenge ourselves in EVERY situation in life – whether it be romantic, familial, platonic or humanitarian – with the question, “So You Think You Can Love?”  And I hope that we always find that answer to be “Absolutely, undeniably – yes.”
