Invitation to dance

 

John 3:8

The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.

Spirit of God

Intriguing

Elusive

Capricious

Eternally present

Before the birth of time

Not an afterthought 

Not the latest iteration

But an integral part

of the eternal dance of the Trinity.

Creator

Redeemer 

Sustainer

She was there moving over the water

at the birth of time

she was there in the hopes and fears of a people

who longed for a Messiah

She was there in the garden

when the warmth of resurrection

rekindled love

All three woven together

moving in synchronicity

Sometimes to the mellow strains

of a slow waltz

Sometimes to the whirling upbeat

of a ceilidh dance

At times she takes the lead

selecting the beat

changing up the rhythm

And then she sets the stage for another

to be front and centre

For the dance cannot be accomplished

without all three parts participating 

in the divine choreography

And new parts are always being written

so that we, too, might participate 

even in our clod hoppers

by taking our place on the floor

and simply beginning to move

to that persistent beat

that draws us into the Divine dance
