I read an article the other day about a famous Indian dancer named Sudha Chandran. Her talented dancing won her many awards and many people stood in awe as she danced. At the very height of her career, she suffered such a serious infection in her right leg that it had to be amputated. Everyone thought her career was over, but not Sudha.  After she was fitted for a prosthetic leg, she went right back to dancing. Although she danced differently than she had before her illness, she was still quite magnificent. The crowds went wild when she danced for them.    When Sudha Chandran was asked how she was able to dance so well, she didn’t hesitate in her response – “You don’t need feet to dance!” she said.  In everyone’s life there come times of loss, disappointment and terribly difficult heavy burdens. What many wise folks have discovered as they have gone through such hardships is that there is a way through them.    Believers know that, as Chandran put it, “You don’t need feet to dance!” What we need is faith, a faith that sees what we still have, not only what has been lost. We need our faith to show us what we can do, rather than what we cannot do. It is not our capacity to do specific things that is important, but rather our ability to enjoy doing the things that we can do.    If you are at a very difficult point in your life and have endured some rather difficult losses, perhaps Sudha Chandran’s own life experience can be of help to you – “You don’t need feet to dance!”
