Falling in Self Love: Day 303
Is GOD really EVERYWHERE?

...because I think I found GOD at the club.  When I was younger I used to attempt to dodge Sunday school by claiming that if GOD were everywhere surely he was in my bedroom and I could sleep in and pray to him after breakfast.  Needless to say, my mother was less than pleased.  Fastforward about 20 years....
I was dancing into the wee hours of the morning at a club.  Soaked with sweat, intoxicated by the rhythms & bass.  I had allowed myself to fully drink in the pleasure of the music and the oneness my body felt with it.  High on life, I felt divine!  Fastforward another 9 years and I find myself experiencing a block while writing a comedy show.  A musical show about life.  I prayed to GOD to help me find my way.  Soon enough the notion to dance came to me.  I turned on Pandora and it's already on one of my favorite club music stations.  I keep it there and dance.  All of a sudden I am transported to the many times I have danced without a care in the world.  I fully surrender to the music and the stories my body wants to remember.  Then....within 20 minutes the remaining parts of an hour long one woman show are written.  So I say yes... GOD IS EVERYWHERE!
