“I’m dancing as fast as I can,” is a well-worn phrase. It’s easily claimed by people overloaded at work and scampering madly to keep up with all the tasks heaped onto the ‘dance’ card of their desks.
It’s a bold statement, too. It reflects a person’s emotional state too, as they high step it through life’s daily emotional dances.
The phrase was most powerfully claimed by Barbara Gordon in the book she penned and the subsequent movie made from it: I’m Dancing As Fast As I Can where she is portrayed by Jill Clayburgh. The perfect life is soon revealed as frayed and flawed.
There are times where I’m called to some fancy footwork in my day, or my life. Happy to report that today was fulfilling without frenzy. Spent most of it out in public but in ‘engagement lite’ mode.
