from the teachings on perichoresis of Cynthia Bourgeault

May you rest knowing
you moved today
within the Great Dance—
both the dance itself
and the one who danced.

May your steps,
clumsy or sure,
sound their note
in the eternal pattern.

May you trust
the force that danced you
is the same
that turns the stars.

May you sleep
as dancer dissolving into dance,
your singular self
folded into the Great Dance.

May the music continue
while you rest
in the arms
of what moves all things.

Amen

— William Britten
