Prayer For Leaders in the Great Dance
I meet with people all over who are inspired by something greater than humankind, something that I call the Dance of Life.While no tradition offers a solution that fits everybody, our religious genius’s point to a common path that surprisingly includes song, dance, and spontaneity.
Disciples of the dancing way know that attention to body and soul is key. We notice.
We know that the challenges of embodiment are joyous, challenging, and worth it. Our practice requires intention, clarity of vision.
In the hidden monastery of Mystic Tech we are tending our attention, intention, and courage to love as leaders in the dance.
We absolutely need communal support for spiritual intelligence. This is body wisdom.
Those who come up against ideas and patterns that DON’T WANT TO DANCE or realize that the forms that support the dance are too few and don’t provide us a livelihood, must learn to dance with this as well in order to live and lead.
To stabilize the human jitters of it all we need to be grounded in ritual practice, community, and prayer.
Perhaps that is why a prayer for leaders arose this week. With arms reaching above, below, and abroad I say it for you and for me.
