“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me.

Day 29: Mixed Media Art Challenge +Michael Jackson Quote

I become the stars and the moon. I become the lover and the beloved. I become thevictor and the vanquished. I become the master and the slave. I become the singer and the song. I become the knower and the known. I keep on dancing then it is the eternal 
dance or creation. The creator and creation merge into one wholeness of joy. I keep on dancing...and dancing...and dancing. Until there is only...the dance.” 
― Michael Jackson

The above is one of my favourite poems/quotes from the beautifully crafted art and poetry book, Dancing The Dream by Michael Jackson.
