There is no one moment of enlightenment, no awakening. The path, the journey is the awakening. The struggle to figure it out. To believe…just because that’s all you can do.
I sat numbed from the day and mindlessly watched the waiters and waitresses scurry to serve those not waiting for a take out order. Between the clinking dishes and the squeaks of the kitchen door’s opening and closing I could hear the music.
“I don’t wanna be someone who walks away so easily I’m here to stay and make the difference that I can make Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake … ” ~Jason Marz “I Want Give Up on Us” I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance, Never settle for the path of least resistance Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’, Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’, Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter, When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider, Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance….I hope you dance. I hope you dance….I hope you dance. ~ Lee Ann Womack “I Hope You Dance”I found a weak smile and thought of the Sweet Hands of Life when the next song began….
You were my strength when I was weak You were my voice when I couldn’t speak You were my eyes when I couldn’t see You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach You gave me faith ‘coz you believed I’m everything I am Because you loved me ~ Celine Dion “Because You Loved Me”There may be no one moment of enlightenment, no awakening. The path, the journey may be the awakening. The struggle to figure it out. To believe…just because that’s all you can do. Maybe no one moment, yes. But the snippets of faith. The snippets of believing because that’s all you can do. Those are the moments of sweet mercy and Whispered Grace. The moments we get the “choice to sit it out or dance.”
I hope you dance.
