Of bulls; young and old
May 15th, 2008Inspired by, if somewhat tenuously, There’s Nobody to Dance With by Johanna and Who Do You Like to Dance With? by Tango Pilgrim.
An old bull and a young bull were standing on the crest of a hill gazing down on the herd of cows grazing on the slopes below them.
The young bull turn turned to the old bull and said, “Let’s run down there and mount the best of them”.
“No”, replied the old bull, “we will Walk down there and mount the lot of them.”
It is all too easy to rush out onto the floor, like a young bull, seeking nirvana in each dance. It takes an entirely different attitude to slowly proceed with patience, like an old bull, and take each dance as they find it or to know that tomorrow the dancers will still be there.
