dance and there come those moments of clarity and reshaping something old with revived flavor and a delicious hint of something beautifully unexpected and God whispers clarity not being understandable merely by a vow of his existence unconvenient to our whims as if we are the master of the house requiring that he bring us a glass of tea unsafe and up to marvelous mischief with his presence everywhere but i often want the easy Las Vegas burning bush obviousness so i don't have to argue as hard with myself so i don't hear my flesh arguing with me about my relationship with God so i don't feel bad about doubts and fears wanting things to be safe He is not safe... what more can he do than he does we notice the little girl dancing if we are looking and seeing her be moved God dances not runs obvious with open invitation to look, consider, explore nudging us to learn the dance inviting us to dance with him and that's it dance with God the process is life and where we walk is not where we insist that he prove but that we know it's enough to dance. 1-15-99 "ten minute developement"
