As we approach Trinity Sunday we can often skirt around trying to understand how we are drawn into the reality of the relationship between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We can often be caught by feeling that we have to relate to one or the other but the reality of three persons and one God can confuse us. It can cause us to chase various rabbits down holes which are interesting theological explorations but do not actually help us to grow in a dynamic relationship with God.
I believe that in essence we are called to sustain the same dynamic relationship at the present moment. Just as when we are dancing we are called to experience being the dancer and the certain movement of the dance. I believe that this is a powerful metaphor for the Christian life. We are called to a person of prayer. We learn from our tradition the ways in which people have been led on the dance. We notice those who have become a dancer to that particular rhythm of life. Their way of dancing attracts people to notice how they too are invited into the dance.
So too with us in our own age. We are called to listen to the music that enthralls us, to step out and feel the beat. There is a resonance that runs through our own body which calls us to be part of this dance. The question is not whether we can dance but rather whether we will join the dance?
