“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” --Friedrich Nietzsche 

Seen Dancing is a collection of essays and stories as they occurred to a spiritual being having a human experience. When you walk a spiritual path, you may encounter people who do not understand you. That is their short-sightedness rather than your shortcoming. Their lack of spiritual experience in no way nullifies the bounty of yours. There are people engaged in spiritual discussions who have opinions and beliefs based in dogma, and then are there are people engaged in spiritual discussions who have experiences. Just because those experiences vary, it doesn't mean that they are contradictory. When beliefs are built upon dogma, conflict arises. When beliefs are built upon experiences, community arises. It is the author's hope that these stories and essays will build community.

A carefully selected array of blog and journal entries that depict different events in the author's life as they happened. They are true as far as memory can be trusted to relate events accurately and interpretations are allowed. Most of the entries were written soon after the occurrence, although a few are memories dredged up from the past. Some of the stories are humorous and some are self-indulgent, but all are told openly from the one writer's perspective of looking at life through smudged and sometimes misty windows of the soul. Many of the stories are about wildlife encounters. Some are pretty straightforward while others are told from a more mystical and archetypal perspective. All are based on real life encounters however.
