On the merging of the margins of two energetic souls

Yeah, he gets it. One note about connection, which he slightly hints at, but doesn't really come out and say it. He talks about physical connection, mental connection, and the connection to the other dancers. He hints at it when he says 'the emotions start to appear'. Then there is the metaphysical connection. The 'wtf was that!?' aspect of a particular dance with a particular partner, in a particular place, at a particular time. Not only does it not happen all the time, nor does it happen frequently. It's elusive, in my experience. I remain convinced that this feeling, which in the ideal is a mutual feeling, will never ever happen in open embrace. Some call it the tango trance. Others, the tangasm. It's sublime when it crosses your path. I fear many may not know of its existence, and sadly, may never experience it. Not that it is something anyone can 'do', or make happen through sheer force of will. Or actively manifest. The conditions have the be right. The stars have to align. In that spot. In that moment. Then, The Universe will gift it to you. Or not. I've always felt like it's the merging of the margins of two energetic souls. If you believe in that stuff. If not, then it's 'just a dance'.
