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 and jerky.
When one person relaxes
and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow
with the music.
One gives gentle cues,
perhaps with a nudge to the back
or 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,
followed by "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.
Once again,
I became willing
to let God lead.
