I grew up with Lord of the Dance being sung in our Catholic masses (I was blessed with Jesuits who sought more progressive music). I'm sitting with the line "I am the dance. And it goes on." --noting that it comes in the stanza about Good Friday -- a reminder that in the depths of darkness, hope lives. The dance goes on. I need that right now... I'm facing a very sick 1 yr old dog and trying to find joy and hope. I'm going to try to put a post together - if I can focus my thoughts. If so, I'll circle back to add the link.

I am honestly not much of a dancer, although I am awed by people who are, with such breathtaking, joyful, wondrous grace. Dance is a response to the music of life. One's whole being goes into dancing...and today, I do just that! Thank you again for hosting.
