God is with us and when moments like this happen with me it's like an invitation to let go of more of the things that just don't matter and without a doubt get in the way. I've never heard this Bruce Cockburn song before and it's not the Bruce song that I woke up this morning thinking about. Pacing The Cage was the song on my mind this morning so I went to YouTube to listen and watch. While there I clicked on Spring Song and it seemed to fit so perfectly (at least in my mind) with yesterday's post.
Since I don't feel entranced anymore by the ornaments the frenzied dance is but a distant memory....but freedom remains something that has to be actively picked up anew every moment. It's become apparent to me that if we aren't resting in Father Son and Spirit, freedom is not possible and all there is outside of that rest is the frenzied dance. It's all this world is interested in, so don't be surprised by the crowd standing around insisting that you join them in the world's dance.
SPRING SONG
When we come
When we come again
To celebrate renewal
At the heart
At the heart of us
Our eyes will touch life
Though we may be hard to find
Where we stand in time
The mirrors of the past shine
With the light of unborn days
We wander in the flames
With nothing but our names
And no-one for the blame
We love so well to focus on
When we come
When we come again
To search beside the Fool
For the heart
For the heart of us
Our eyes will touch Life
By ornaments entranced
We trace in frenzied dance
The patterns carved by chance
On the pavement of memory
Seasons turning yet again
The Mother's breast is full again
As in heaven, so with men
Is now and ever shall be
Till we come
Till we come again
To recognize renewal
At the heart
At the heart of us
Our eyes will touch life
