Through a spiritual lens—BALLET TOE

Robin Virgil Matteson

I took this photo when I was a student at college. A friend of mine was a ballet dancer, and she was one of the reasons I began watching dance—and ended up loving it.

This photo captures balance and beauty. It makes me think of something I've read—that the divine Mind ". . . possesses of itself all beauty and poetry, and the power of expressing them."
Science and Health, p. 298 . Dance is a powerful way for people to express God's beauty. The music dancers move to further inspires them to be creative and soulful.

As an observer, I have come to find great inspiration through watching ballet dancers communicate beautifully, soulfully, through their movement.
