An Invitation

In Africa, we dance - dance because hearts are human, humming and happy. We dance when our hearts are bleeding, heavy, hacked or broken. With Sydney Carter's Lord of the Dance, we'll even dance with the devil on our backs. This short 47-second video uses a poem by Hafiz, the 14th century Persian poet. May it bless and help you on your Journey.

In your budding, blossoming and blooming this Lent, be as radical as a root and don't forget to grow (not just up) but grow down a little or a long way, following the example of children and the Gardener who lived close to the ground. Also, don't forget to take up God's Invitation summed up in four words (watch the video and see).
