Join the Dance of Peace


Let us dance for peace!--Photo by B. Hartford

You'll find over time that somewhere deep in my psyche I believe. I mean, I really believe. I get discouraged and disappointed, but deep down inside -- I believe. I believe in the dance of life and I believe that when we truly start embracing each other and dancing with each other, the music of peace will fill our hearts and minds and we will dance!

This picture was taken by a friend of peace of me dancing with another friend of peace. Now what I want you to do is look at the picture closely. What do you see? In fact, I'd like to have you tell me a story! Tell me what the picture says to you. Be brave. Be creative. Be free. And I bet this picture tells you a story of peace --- and the dance.

I look forward to your story of peace. Namaste'

The people are standing in a semi-circle. it looks as if they want to join in the dancing. I hope that we can find common ground and experience our contribution in the interconnected web of life.

You know, I've always loved to dance. The mediation below makes me remember that I usually want to lead!

Guidance

When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one
person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and
attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other. My eyes drew back to the word Guidance. When I saw "G: I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i". "God, "u" and "i" dance." God, you, and I dance. As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead. My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and mercies be upon you on this day and everyday. May you abide in God as God abides in you. Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and to guide you through each season
of your life. This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached. If God has done anything for you in your life, please share this message with someone else, for prayer is one of the best gifts we can receive. There is
no cost but a lots of rewards; so let's continue to pray for one another. I Hope You Dance!!!!
