Contagious

After a week of reflecting on what it means to welcome others, let’s not forget that our own soul-care is at the core of this work. “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39) seems to start with yourself… and then it can become contagious.

As the Spirit to speak to you today as you reflect on these words from the old mystic:

I sometimes forget
that I was created for Joy.
My mind is too busy.
My Heart is too heavy
for me to remember
that I have been
called to dance
the Sacred dance of life.
I was created to smile
To Love
To be lifted up
And to lift others up.
O Sacred One
Untangle my feet
from all that ensnares.
Free my soul.
That we might
Dance
and that our dancing
might be contagious."
