Fatherhood: "Are We Human, Or Are We Dancers?"

One of the things that took me by surprise when my son began walking was his desire to dance. When music begins to play, he nods his head as though he were nodding, "Yes"; he claps his hands fully stretching his arms all the while; and he does squats like we did in wrestling although if we did it like my son we'd be told to do them over. He loves music.

I am the type of person that wonders why humans do the things we do. As a young child, having seen no dancers yet, who put that heart within him to dance at the beautiful sound of music? Why does it please our souls to hear the chords struck?

These things come from God and God alone. He loves music. He created music. All musicians have a divine audience. Music was made by God and for God. [This is why I dislike the "secular" and "Christian" divide when it comes to music.]

God longs that we too enjoy this part of his creation. He was the first creator and all musicians follow in the footsteps of their Creator. God was the first dancer and we also follow in his footsteps and dance. My son does what God has put in his heart to do and that is to dance. Son, rock out to Human.
