Summer is flying by. So far since my last post the routine has been letters, letters, planning, and letters. Fun times are in the works for fundraising. This week I attended a retreat called OASIS. I built relationships with people, sat through amazing sessions, learned more about the Czech Republic, and improved my skills in Dutch Blitz (an insanely fast card game where you try to get as many cards out of your hands before the other players). Through reflection times this week I decided I want to share a poem from St. Hilda Community that impacted me in a profound way this week.
Flaming Dancing Spirit
Sweep us off our feet
And dance us through our days
Surprise us with your rhythms
Dare us to try new steps
Explore new patterns and new partnerships
Release us from old routines
To swing in abandoned joy and fearful adventure
And in the intervals
Rest us in your still centre
I love dancing. It brings me joy and usually gets everyone around me laughing. This poem inspires me to keep on dancing, finding new ways to dance. Laughter and growth will continue to follow.
