God is the lead dancer and the soul is the partner completely attuned to the rhythm and patterns set by the partner. She does not lead, but neither does she hang limp like a sack of potatoes.

Thomas Merton in Listening to the Music of the Spirit by David Lonsdale

Imagine yourself dancing with God. What images and feelings come to you?
