I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart, the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind.
Robert Fulghum

Interpretation
The line frames dancing not as a learned skill or social performance but as an innate human impulse—something generated by the body’s own rhythms (“beat of my heart,” “pulse of my blood”) and by interior imagination (“music in my mind”). It suggests that movement and creativity arise from being alive, collapsing the boundary between art and ordinary physiology. In this sense, “dance” becomes a metaphor for self-expression and for responding to life with spontaneity rather than inhibition. The statement also implies a kind of permission: if the source of dance is internal and universal, then anyone can claim it, regardless of training, age, or circumstance.
