Dance then, wherever you may be. I am the lord of the dance said he and I'll lead you all, wherever you may be and I'll lead you all in the dance said he. (Sydney Carter - hymn)
If there was ever a time to be caught off guard by God its when the wind suddenly blows. This particular day the wind came out of nowhere and really stirred up everything around the sacred space, tossing old gathered leaves around, bending tree tops low - it was as if God was playing and this came to mind:
The windblown tree tops bow to the ground as if kissing the earth,
and the birds 'fly sideways' as the wild wind gathers pace, tossing spent leaves, tuffs of dry grass and a discarded birds nest in a swirl then dumping them 'thud' to the ground where they lay again.
Waiting - Waiting for the next playful wind and the 'flying sideways birds' navigate a bumpy landing around the spent leaves, the dry tuffs of grass and the discarded bird nest - to rest before the next playful gust of wind comes to play again. - What a joy it is to see God at play. Moments spent in the sacred space are a blessing for the day.
May God smile on everything you do - God go with you - God love you. Anne Servant of the Lord.
A gift from the 'flying sideways 'bird.
