“We made it through because we are needed here. We are each here to uncover and honor profound reasons for being. We are each here as part of the sacred dance, stepping on each other’s toes and turning each other toward God, one clumsy step after another. Although the ultimate romance is with your own soul, it is our experiences together that give birth to the essential lessons. Every sacred purpose is a buried treasure, essential to the advancement of the collective soul. If we get off the dance floor, we postpone others’ lessons too.” Jeff Brown, rocking some beautiful truth.
Those profound reasons may never win us the more widely recognized trophies of accomplishment or achievement. They may not bring us even the slightest notice beyond that moment of uncovering their meaning. But to hold them dearly, to embody their gold, to know we are more than enough is priceless treasure.
Here’s to the courage to take those risks for meaning, for believing we are here to uncover profound reasons while the world tosses so many excuses to just be assimilated, to forget any idea of purpose beyond consuming, beyond maintaining the status quo.
Here’s to the dance…
