Brother, Come Dance With Me!
10 Examples of Men Dancing Together Which Are Joyful, Powerful and May Be Revolutionary
I’ve been noticing in these cold and dark months especially how little physical contact I am having with other men.
Sure, I get to the dojo and train with my male buds (my “brothers”) here and there, and it’s satisfying to wrestle and play fight. But there is something about dancing — moving with more spontaneity, ecstatic joy and celebration — that I miss.
As if on cue, I got these pics in the mail.

I look at these pictures and think about the many times dancing with other men has been deeply healing and life changing for me (more on those experiences in point #9) and I wonder why have I not done it more often, lately.
