Dear God,

A few days ago I watched my new daffodils dance in the wind.  It was mesmerizing because I thought of how beautiful it would be for every soul on the planet to be able to dance with your spirit breeze.  But we can't.  

Some don't know there is a dance or a breeze for that matter.  Some know it but can't dance because of so many reasons.  Others simply refuse to dance.  There is something so pure and innocent about flowers dancing, nothing holding them back, just a simple act of joy to celebrate and praise life.

In a little while, I am joining a protest in our state capitol.  I am carrying a sign that simply states, "I am here protesting for the poor, the vulnerable, the tossed aside, the kicked around, the mocked, the threatened, the despairing and the lost."  I just simply can't stay in my warm, safe home on a rainy, cool day.  I have to be among those who are calling for better for all people in the world.

Guide us

by your spirit,

Lord.

Help us

do the dance

of justice

for all citizens

of the planet.

Teach us

again and again

and again

your will

and your way.

Love, Andrea
