Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I found this grace somewhere a while ago without attribution. It was so special I thought I would share it with you. Many thanks to its creator.
"As we make ready to eat this food, we remember with gratitude, the many people, tools, animals and plants, air and water, sky and earth, turned in the wheel of living and dying, whose joyful exertion, provides our sustenance this day.
May we with the Blessing of this food, join our hearts, to the one heart of the world, in awareness and love, and may we together with everyone, realize the path of awakening and never stop making efforts for the benefit of others."
This is truly an amazing grace!
Blessings upon you my friends! Happy Thanksgiving!

The Spirit of Dance
I just read an article in National Geographic online entitled Shall We Dance. In it there are several references to what dance does for one's psyche. This passage is a quintessential expression of the spirit of dance.
"Dance, like the rhythm of a beating heart, is life. It is, also, the space between heartbeats. It is, said choreographer Alwin Nikolais, what happens between here and there, between the time you start and the time you stop. "It is," says Judith Jamison, artistic director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, "as close to God as you are going to get without words."
To dance is human. To dance is divine."
May we all experience this joy!
