misbehave beautifully

saying peace

Misbehave beautifully

Peace, a space within and without,

Calm, serene, unshakeable

An end to war

Stillness and composure combined

Relief and release entwined

Meditative contentment

But all things must be in balance -

there is room for a little chaos

in a world of peace.

Room to follow a pure heart,

To dance and play,

To misbehave beautifully.

Portia Ungley, with thanks to Wayne McGregor

15 min TED talk by choreographer and dancer Wayne McGregor

the theme today is inner peace

Did you imagine that crazy dance moves could be part of finding your inner peace? try thinking more deeply about this

what does misbehaving beautifully look like to you? is it peaceful?
name three things that remind you of peace, and three things that remind you of misbehaving. Imagine them intertwined
choose one of them (it might be a crazy image, like a dove helping itself to someone's fish and chips at the seaside, or someone giggling at an important ceremony) and make it into a dance, or a play or a story
