A dance floor

Specifically, for me, a techno dance floor at a cool little club or a rave or a warehouse party. There is something deeply spiritual and meditative to me about it. To be in communion with all of these other people on the dance floor who are looking for somewhere to put their grief, their love, their fear, their hope, themselves in service to that beat? It has healed me in ways I did not expect. Writer Michelle Lhooq once wrote that, “grief is an extended release” and that’s what a good dance floor can bring me.
