This is a lovely day to celebrate!  Humans seem to have a universal desire to dance.  It happens across all societies and it was wonderful in 2019 that we had our own flashmob dance in the Peace Garden to mark this event.   Here it is!

Here's another flashmob of joy!

 And here's a wonderful song - I HOPE YOU DANCE:

A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1:00 video)

Creator God,

we thank you for the beauty of dance.

Help us to leap with your joy,

to stretch with your passion,

to balance with your strength

as we express our thoughts and emotions.

May our dancing always be a spirit-filled,

life-giving expression of our humanity.

We pray this in your holy name. AMEN
