Last week I told you that the Dances of Universal Peace are the
thinnest place I know – they regularly and profoundly open me to
the Sacred Source. This week I am at Wilderness Dance Camp in
Montana, where I am spending my time singing and dancing and playing
with an open heart – full to overflowing with wonder and gratitude.
As I write these words it is only Tuesday, and already I have been
moved to tears on more than one occasion. Lila Flood is one of our
Dance Leaders, and several of her dances have been favorites of mine
for a long time. It has been a wonderful treat to express my thanks
to her for that gift in my life. This morning she led us in one of
those dances – Soli Deo Gloria – Adoramus Te (all glory to God
alone with deep adoration). She introduced the dance with a quote
from Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. “To adore: that means to lose
oneself in the unfathomable, to plunge into the inexhaustible, to
find peace in the incorruptible, to be absorbed in defined immensity,
to offer oneself to the fire and the transparency, to annihilate
oneself in proportion as one becomes more deliberately conscious to
oneself, and to give of one’s deepest to that whose depth has no
end.” As I danced and sang I found myself overwhelmed with the
awareness that I am living my life immersed in the unfathomable
Mystery. It is such a gift to sing from my heart, to move my body, to
be surrounded by music, and to dive deep into the heart of God.
