The supreme physical expression of human joy
Is dance.
God (including all earlier gods) requested dance first
Before images, ideas, and all other expressions of worship.
First was the foot
Then the hand
And, finally, the head.
Dance expresses joy in life
And the immanence of God in our hearts,
Along with a strong desire for physically moving with others.
Dance is how children express their happiness
With spontaneous movements.
I think it’s important to become aware of dance going on all around us –
Especially that of our sky neighbors – the birds.
Also, watch patterns of waves forming over large bodies of water –
Watch wind as it touches, and then re-touches, forest leaves.
Notice the small shy smile appearing on your lover’s face
And your joy, in response, when you give your feelings permission to shine.
Why not give that permission right now –
After all, the entire world depends upon it!
