  corresponding with each other by the moves that you make. It's a love affair, between you and your partner and
  the music. You feel the music, you feel your partner, she feels you and she feels the music. So there the three of
  you are together. You've got a triangle, you know. Which one do you love best?

• Take faith, for example. For many people in our world, the opposite of faith is doubt. The goal, then, within this understanding, is to eliminate doubt. But faith and doubt aren't opposites. Doubt is often a sign that your faith has a pulse, that it's alive and well and exploring and searching. Faith and doubt aren't opposites, they are, it turns out, excellent dance partners.

Because sometimes you need a scientist and sometimes you need a poet.
