I danced on a
Friday when the sky turned black
It's hard to dance
with the devil on your back
They buried my body and they thought I'd gone
But I am the Dance and I still go on!
They buried my body and they thought I'd gone
But I am the Dance and I still go on!
The
words are from Sydney Carter’s hymn Lord
of the Dance the picture is of Shiva the Nataraja or “Lord of the Dance.”
In this familiar image Shiva, as the cosmic dancer within an arch of flames,
dances to destroy a weary universe so that it can be remade in a new creation.
Creation begins anew in Christ’s resurrection.
Creation begins anew in Christ’s resurrection.
Happy
Pascha!
The image, the explanation of the symbolism, and the hymn lyrics - all pulled together quite well! Interesting...
