View the Full Post]]> It’s a different world now. We talk about paradigm shifts and economic downturns, about a collapse in trust and the shattering of dreams. If we can have faith in the face of these crisis, keeping our eyes beyond the immediate difficulties and believe in the graciousness of God and the strength of His promises, we can remain erect even when our burden in heavy. Confident in an unseen and unknowable future, her spirit unbroken even though her world is, the dancer’s spirit and balance remains steadfast.

This is what most of us seem to want and seek, no matter how elusive. So much calls out for our attention, so much challenges us in every moment of every day. This figure, poised and beautiful, does not stand in the shadow of challenge but stands astride it all, calmly, patiently. She defies convention, from her lovely Reubenesque form to her towering hairdo. She chooses not to let worry or confusion champion her; she champions them. She does not ignore the world or the problems that she faces, only chooses to not let them be her master.
