G-U-I-Dance

   

When I meditated on the word "guidance," I kept seeing "dance" at 
the end of the word.

I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing. 
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement 
doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable a
nd jerky.

When one person lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with 
the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back 
or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two 
become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, 
willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance 
and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word guidance. When I saw "G", I thought of 
God, followedby "u" and "i". God, "u" and "i" dance". God, you, and 
I dance. This statement is what guidance means to me.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get 
guidance about my life. I became willing to let God lead.
