Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his surpassing greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with clanging cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that breathes praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! (Psalm 150)
I am delighted. I am enticed. I am enraptured. I am entranced.
When I am delighted, I am compelled to move. In Hebrew the verb is chaphets: take delight in, desire, take pleasure in, move toward, bow down to.
I am delighted with God. I am enticed by God's presence. I am entranced by the movement of God. I revel in God's breath, touch, and taste.
In response I cannot sit still, I must move. I must dance and shout and sing.
God has invited all to a dance of co-creation. I accept the invitation with enthusiasm and joy.
Above is Dance of Youth by Pablo Picasso.
