This year, let’s sing new songs as we dance….
Singing a new song requires us to collaborate in creativity-ie open freedom. This year I’ve been meditating on Psalm 149. The most basic idea in this poem is we are called to create new frames and mid-air tabernacles of meeting God through our artful praises. God will inhabit people’s praises, of course. But there is a call to make new songs here this year, as in many places in the Psaltery. New songs, imply creating them. Creativity is birthed in thankful Joy! That’s the tone of this year—playful creative thankful Joy. It’s a collaborative new song year! How ironic of God to ask that of us this year, given the bleak times, and yet. And yet….let’s sing and be new songs this year friends! Let’s speed things up by our improvisational pliability and readiness in Peace to collaborate with Our Creator this year! Here is comes, regardless; but we can be dance partners with God, if we are ready and willing this year! I can already see Him stringing the disco lights for us to get into it! Let’s dance! Let’s improv with God this year; He’s looking for some readied partners to dance with! The boots of Peace are also dance shoes!
