Control is mankind’s fundamental need.  It is the underlying reason for every human pursuit.

The very first thing we learn to control, as babies, is motion – our position in space and time.  Dance is the culmination of that mastery.  In dancing we celebrate our first brave step toward control – the beginning of our individual hero journeys through life.

Is driving the culmination of dance?  Driving is 100% about control, and its only purpose is motion.  Driving means controlling a motor vehicle’s direction, speed, and dynamic positioning … in various environments … under any conditions … according to rules … a midst other human beings using motorized and non-motorized vehicles, or moving on their own feet.  Driving is exercising skilled, wise, and graceful control of motion – of one’s position in space and time, while charged with life-and-death responsibility.  Clearly, driving is the ultimate dance.

When we feel most alive – at the transcendent moment of victory, when exulting in pure joy – we celebrate with motion.  We stand-up.  We stretch our arms outward and upward toward infinity.  We throw back our heads, laugh and yell.  We jump.  We DANCE!

So celebrate driving.  Celebrate your own driving – your unique, personal contribution to the world’s greatest dance!
