Transcript

I sometimes forget that I was created for joy.

My mind is too busy.

My heart is too heavy.

Heavy for me to remember that I have been called to dance the sacred dance for life.

I was created to smile,

To love,

To be lifted up and lift others up.

O sacred one,

Untangle my feet from all that ensnares.

Free my soul that we might dance and that our dancing might be contagious.
