Feelings are great liars. If Christians worshipped only when they felt like it, there would be precious little worship.

Worship is an act that develops feelings for God, not a feeling for God that is expressed in an act of worship.

[... Dance] involves every possible feeling (as potential), because it is of the body, which is lived (inescapably) as a body of feeling. Some of these feelings we can name, and some we cannot, since we associate feelings with language only when we name them. The body lives sentience on a preverbal level. Dance exists first on this primordial level, not on an intellectual plane (even though it requires skill and intelligence). Its inmost substance cannot be reasoned, only experienced.
