Tuesday Tidbit: Inviting others to the dance

Writing your memoir can help you step beyond your grief.

And when it does,

use your words 

to invite others to join in “the larger dance.”

“… As we dance, we realize that

we don’t have to stay on the little spot of our grief,

but we can step beyond it.

We stop centering our lives on ourselves.

We pull others along with us

and invite them into the larger dance.

We learn to make room for others—

and the Gracious Other in our midst.

And when we become present to God and God’s people,

we find ourselves richer.

We come to know that all the world is our dance floor.

Our step grows lighter because God has called others to dance as well….”

Henri Nouwen, Turn My Mourning into Dancing

May your step grow lighter because

“God has called out others to dance as well,”

and He has invited you to play a role in that.
