Breathing Space: Joffrey Ballet

In this week's Breathing Space, we pay a visit to the world-renowned Joffrey Ballet. Here in this rehearsal space, the dancers spend hours each day focused on the tiniest gestures, fully engaged to the pursuit of beauty and perfection. The Sufi poet Rumi said: "Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love. Let the beauty of what you love be what you do." Here, gravity holds no weight, and nothing is held back. Watch the graceful dancers and think about your own passions. What do you enjoy doing so much that life's troubles seem to spin away, leaving only the dance of joy behind? Take a moment to consider what will lift your spirit and put that into motion.
