A SPIRITUAL WORD from david bruce

STORIES ARE ABOUT RELATIONSHIP
Click to start
SPIRITUAL THEMES

In the same way that Beverly Clark's (Susan Sarandon's) desire for a husband to be someone to care for her and make sure her life does not go unnoticed or unwitnessed is answered by her husband taking her hand and teaching her to dance, God also extends his hand to that same longing in us, ready to lead us, teach us, pick us up whenever we fall, and asking us not just to live, not just to settle, but to take His hand and let our life become a dance.
-- Elisabeth Leitch

ON DANCE

Dance is the hidden language of the soul.
--Martha Graham (1893 - 1991)

Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.
--Oprah Winfrey (1954 - ), O Magazine, February 2003

You will certainly not be able to take the lead in all things yourself, for to one man a god has given deeds of war, and to another the dance, to another lyre and song, and in another wide-sounding Zeus puts a good mind.
--Homer (800 BC - 700 BC), The Iliad

The wine urges me on, the bewitching wine, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words which were better unspoken.
--Homer (800 BC - 700 BC), The Odyssey

DANCING IN THE BIBLE

Psalm 30:11 (Message Bible)
You did it: you changed wild lament
into whirling dance;
You ripped off my black mourning band
and decked me with wildflowers.

Psalm 149:3 (Message Bible)
Let them praise his name in dance;
strike up the band and make great music!

Psalm 150:4 (Message Bible)
Praise him with castanets and dance,
praise him with banjo and flute;

Jeremiah 31:4 (Message Bible)
And so now I'll start over with you and build you up again,
dear virgin Israel.
You'll resume your singing,
grabbing tambourines and joining the dance.

Eccles. 3:4 (Message Bible)
A right time to cry and another to laugh,
A right time to lament and another to dance,
