The Tango Quantum

Tango is food for the soul. The dining experience is totally dependent upon the two people connected through the tango embrace. A tango dance can result in a broken heart as well as a spiritual ascension. If practiced with regularity, dancing tango can lead to a rich and fulfilling existence. 

Our ability to have our hearts broken is the great equalizer in life. No matter how rich or poor we are, regardless of our physical or mental health, none of us can escape the pain of a lost love if it decides to pursue us.

The opposite of this is also true: there is no greater pleasure in life than one that can soothe the soul.

In the course of survival, we often become consumed with the pursuit of wealth and power. Money and material things are empty calories when it comes to satisfying our spiritual hunger: sweet, but lacking any real nourishment. So it is with influence and status in society; our authority over others gives us a thrill but, if not used for the common good, become the wheels that carry us to our destruction.

The beautiful thing about tango is that it is an ephemeral experience. There are no material rewards, only memories of the engagement. The attraction between two people has nothing to do with their outward appearance, bank account or social stature; it is all internal and beyond. It is sex for the soul, a chemical reaction that is quantum in its characteristics: both celestial and molecular simultaneously, a moment in time that always was, and always will be, but never known until the connection was completed and the music begun.
