let’s dance! … (11/06/11)

Well, it’s Sunday today — a day when a significant portion of the population in this country is going to church to engage their once-a-week tete-a-tete with God.

Well I’m here to tell you, we don’t have to wait for Sunday to “go to church”, and we sure as heck don’t need to be still & “reverent” on Sunday when we do so.

Indeed, I’ve got some really great news:  the Divine is always everywhere … and It simply loves to dance!

“I would believe only in a God that knows how to dance.” ~ Nietzsche

“Never trust spiritual leader who cannot dance.” ~ Mr. Miyagi (The Next Karate Kid)

You’ve only got this one brief life in the body you currently inhabit.  So dedicate today to being exuberantly thankful for that body; dedicate today to worshiping your version of God the way He/She/It really wants you to — by moving joyously … by laughing while dancing … by dancing as though there is no tomorrow (there isn’t) … by dancing as though you remember how Wonder-full this life truly is.

“Kids: they dance before they learn there is anything that isn’t music.” ~ William Stafford

“Become again as a child.” ~ Jesus

Have fun, kids!
