Gabrielle Roth poem from Womens Gathering My prayer for the millennium is a dance, a wild, blissful dance, a paean of beat and bone and breathe and blood. It's a dance driven by spirit, fueled by spirit. It rocks me in the world beat, whipping me into ten thousand shapes. I reel from blue dance to elbow dance to fiery, funky, free dances. Like a prayer wheel, I spin in the winds of time; in the downbeat of the mother, in the dark heart of prayer, I soak in the mystery. And I do this for you and me and everybody we know and those we don't know. It's my offering. Inside my cathedral of bones, my blood pulses, my skin tingles with sweat-pounding heart, swirling breath-and, for a moment, I remember, God is the dance.
