Shall We Dance? A Color Meditation on Letting Go

Editor’s Note: Returned missioner Rosanna Ferraro-Jensen uses color and creative expression to reflect on the idea of our relationship with God as a continuous invitation to dance. 

“Every Child Has known God”

(Hafiz, 1320-1389)

Every child has known God,

Not the God of names,

Not the God of don’ts,

Not the God who ever does anything weird,

But the God who knows only four words,

And keeps repeating them, saying:

“Come Dance with Me,

Come Dance.”

I invite you to view the following meditation video, “Shall We Dance? A Color Meditation on Letting Go” as an opening into your inner Dance. This meditation is an example of how color and creative expression can be used to explore and experience our spiritual journey. Are you ready to Dance?

Reflection Questions: 

  • Imagine accepting this invitation to Dance. Are you ready to Dance, or is there something you need to let go of before you begin?
  • How will you color your Dance?
  • How will you continue this Dance?
