Lead Me to the Dance

The words of Metchtild inspired these pages in my altered book.

"I cannot dance O Lord, unless Thou lead me.

If Thou wilt that I leap joyfully

Then must Thou Thyself first dance and sing!

Then will I leap for love

From love to knowledge,

From Knowledge to fruition,

From fruition to beyond all human sense

There will I remain

And circle evermore."

Metchtild of Magdeburg in An Anthology of Christian Mysticism
