Thomas Merton reminds us that we are “created for JOY” and invited to join God in “the mysterious dance of creation.” How do we awaken this joy and join creation’s dance? How do we embody its rhythms and share its songs? What does Merton have to teach us about dancing joyfully in life’s waters
whether they be tranquil or troubled?
