Poetry from “Dancing with the Divine: Prayers & Meditations for Movement & Stillness”

Invitation

Invitation

You are being sent a secret message:
Everywhere it is revealed
Wake up!
Peer into the mirror,
Look through the window
Step outside
Dogs, cats, deer, birds, trees, flowers
God is calling, calling, calling.

Cast aside the outworn cloak of timidity
Immerse yourself in the waters
The flow of the ten thousand joys and sorrows.
Feel your skin caressed by the breeze
Let yourself be shaped by the Beloved.

Let a smile spread through your heartbeat
Laugh for no reason
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
Singing and dancing await you.

We have time for nothing
But the truth.
