They entered the sanctuary that morning, each wearing a different design, size, and shape. All of them came out of obedience to the call of the music of the spheres, but some came with great expectation. They had gathered there over a long season, hoping each service would be THE service. Many left either disappointed or physically weary from the journey. As each settled into his or her familiar place, their spirits started to turn slowly, some feeling the weightlessness of the Spirit and others the heaviness of their burdens. The music rose like a cool mountain mist and then settled on every surface and curled into every crevice. The worshippers joined their hearts and voices as their bodies swayed with the slow rhythm. In the words of the song, they invited the Spirit to romance and dance with them to the “song of all songs.” They swayed to the Spirit`s song; they waltzed with him in the Holy Ballroom like newlyweds on their wedding day. They felt the oneness with their Beloved as he embraced them and led them in the Dance. Then a voice emanated from the dance floor to thank the Spirit for the Divine Dance. Some people`s toes were, perhaps, bruised; and many were weary from dancing, so the dance ended. That is, the dance among humans with tired limbs, but not among the Spheres who continued to make melody and hold lovingly to their Divine Partner. If the saints won`t dance, the Spheres will, for they are not bound by time or physical restraints. They have eternal clocks and eye glasses to see that we are all about to witness the first dance at the wedding feast by the Bridegroom and his Bride, who has not become weary in waiting. The Bride busies herself in preparation while she waits. She dances as if with a shadow, swirling the train of her wedding gown about the floor and kicking up stardust with each turn. She loses herself in the moments of her imaginary romance. One day the vision will take on immortal flesh and the Bridegroom will come and the Divine Dance will never end. “And the Spirit and the Bride say, 'Come`” (Rev 22:17). And the Father and the Bridegroom say, “Surely I come quickly. Stay on the dance floor." --Dell Belew
