Spiritual Practice of the Week:  Come Dance

I love these words by Hafiz, a mystic and Sufi poet who lived in the 13^th century:

Every child has known God, 
not the God of names, 
not the God of dont’s, 
not the God who ever does anything weird, 
but the God who knows only four words. 
and keeps repeating them, saying: 
“come dance with me, come dance”.

May these full and rich last days of summer present opportunities for you to DANCE. Dance under the stars, dance with your love, dance in fields as you are picking tomatoes, dance at the bus stop, dance with your youth, dance with God in this glorious creation.  Move, dance, be, now.
