Lectio Divina - One hundred and four


Gregory Orr, Concerning the Book that is the Body of the Beloved. Port Townsend, WA: Copper Canyon Press, 2005.




To be alive


To be alive: not just the carcass

But the spark.

That's crudely put, but…


If we're not supposed to dance,

Why all this music?

We are being called to live joyously, in full aliveness, using every part of ourselves. To dance. To keep the spark warm and glowing, protected from everything that will smother it.

Loving God, help us to rejoice!

Bring on the music, and let us dance with joyful noise!
