Abstract

In this paper the author grapples creatively with the question of how to go on being. The author’s exploration of the use of dance, both as a person and as a clinician, in order to maintain an ongoing exploration of this question is poetically explored. In this evocative piece the author also uses images to invite the reader into a visceral, intellectual and emotional “dance” within the reader’s own body/mind. The author’s invitation to themselves and to us all is to surrender to “the divine mystery.” Within this the author emphasises the notion of morphogenesis, as a guide to this potent call.
