Description
A couple of considerations first. The title sounds like 'Dancing with our own soul'. As other posts in the past time, the latin used for title could be not correct at all because poetic needs.
About the image itself: this time it has been heavy resized because the original one is a very large picture. I've encountered some difficult in resizing it. So you have to expect a significative quality loss. I hope not too much:)
And now some words about the concept. It's opinion of mine that human people need to 'dance with his own soul' to acquire more feeling with himself and all the world around.
In other words mankind for his own integrity would require needs more harmony ad good sense (as the meaning of the French term 'bon sense').
Today people is a summa of imprisoned bodies. Anything (and anyone) is matter (in the full sense of materialism) and the soul has become an abstraction, a forgotten relic of the past concepts of life. The spiritualism too, in many cases, becomes a material (and commercial) product, something disposable. Our own soul is missing. No surprise if we are all unhappy, unsatisfied and more. Something in the modern concept of human being is wrong... lost.

A wonderful picture and profound thoughts. Excellent and very creative work!
Excellent and inspirational work.
Wonderful work!
I totally agree with your ideas, gorgeous piece of art!!!
Great artwork! Very beautiful image! Totally agree with your statement. A large amount of people spend their lifes imitating what is being shown on TV and chasing down the newest shiny thing from the commercial breaks. No wonder more and more people suffering under depression and mental problems!
This is a spectacular & powerful illustration for your words, which are so true!
Lovely thoughtful work!
I agree with guilband :)
A fantastic made image and absolutely artwork on each of the images in your gallery!!
Possibly the disconnect happened when we stopped being hunter gathers (our brains have actually shrunk over the past 10,000 years), we became limited to what we can create rather than enjoy what already exists. Excellent post as always.
Great thoughts to which to live by!.... Outstanding Image of just that!!!!... more people should take this to heart..
did a wonderful job on the image

Great concept and realiziation, very creative work!
so STRIKING! (even reduced) and such MEANINGFUL words... !! I would agree...although I do see a new awakening in a precious few people...and WE who are on THAT journey in this lifetime can recognize even more within your art work! I am glad I took the time to check your gallery to find your offering for this year. Warm Thanks for you and your art!!
A beautiful image. Yes, you're right. The people nowadays are set far too materialistic. Who has not a smartphone, is a freak. But even the most beautiful beaches, mountains of god, or where it is beautiful, no one sees the beauty of nature, because all stare in their smartphone to tweet to, read e-mails, or make Selfies. I think it's just sick. And if even a human being with a smile walks past them, they immediately think that he was a psychopath. We all need more soul again!
Hi Whylma.. is it that time of the year already? Gosh time sure flies. Anyway, an excellent image as always. Bravo and hugs from Dave :^)
