Taste of worship

"Sit in a chair and keep still. Let the dancer’s shoulders emerge from your shoulders, the dancer’s chest from your chest, the dancer’s loins from your loins, the dancer’s hips and thighs from yours; and from your silence the throat that makes a sound, and from your bafflement a clear song to which the dancer moves, and let him serve God in beauty. When he fails, send him again from your chair. By such an exercise, even a bitter man can praise Creation, even a heavy man can swoon, and a man of high responsibility soften his heart."

Leonard Cohen

I read this and loved it. Our Lord should cause us to dance...even if it may seem foolish, who cares...foolishness can be beautiful.
