A Dance With The Gods

S What does it mean to dance with the gods?

As I light my candle and close my eyes,

I feel my hand guided into the place that feels like home.

Words whispered on my breath speak of fear and truth,

Courage and hope.

As I lay my hands upon the earth,

I feel it gently tremble beneath my feet.

For the gods are within me as well as within you.

I offer the earth,

My tears,

My flame and my breath.

For they are the key to connection and strength.

The thread that pulls me into that primordial space.

There's no longing,

Only peace.

For this is where I am truly meant to be.

You see me.

You feel me.

You know exactly who I am.

And for the first time,

I am humming and full.

As we sway,

My laughter grows,

My elation rises.

But the more I see,

My shoulders grow heavy and my burdens yearn to be free.

This dance is one that reckons and embraces.

It shines a light in the darkness and holds your truest intentions close to its heart.

Dance with your gods.

Throw their words into the flames and challenge all that you know.

Let your roots descend into the earth and your mind ascend up into the heavens.

It's in that faithful act that you become the mighty power you so greatly desire.

It's with intention,

Words,

Emotions,

Energy and flesh that we covet what we need and let wash over us what is scarring and profound.

Because we know that we are not in this world alone.

And for that,

We dance.
