devo thought: living in your glory

living in your glory

might mean dancing--the kind of dancing that uses so much energy and passion because it is filled to the brim with laughter and then the tears come spilling over the edge--the kind of dancing that slams bodies together and apart in wild jubilation (a wedding mosh pit)--the kind of dancing that cripples you for days because your calves have never leaped so many times (reaching for Heaven)--the kind of dancing where sweat pours from every crevice and leaves you panting and claiming you are too old for this (spontaneous street dance party).

living in your glory

might mean weeping. not just single tear trickling down your cheek kind of crying. weeping to exhaustion. not just lump in your throat and eyes welling slightly at a ridiculous commercial that caught you at just the right moment. weeping uncontrollably. not just angry tears pushing out in impatient frustration. weeping to cleanse and lighten. weeping to ease and soften. weeping to experience depth, pain, beauty, and grace.

living in your glory

might mean trusting--a freefall, over-the-edge, off the cliff, into deep waters, beyond the reach of light, behind your back, eyes closed, open hands, without a net, stomach in your mouth, around the corner, behind the door, inside the unmarked box, mysterious, wild, wonderful, crazy, hopeful, terrifying kind of trusting.

living in your glory

might be letting go, moving on, forgiving, believing, waiting, asking, allowing, ceasing to fight, enjoying, blessing, releasing, reaching out, turning the other cheek, laughing, preparing, honoring, delighting, praying, singing, writing, hugging, running, leaping, and being willing to move to your rhythm.
