The Call to 'HIS' Approval

I could no longer contain the sequel of thoughts that have been lingering in my mind. They were as if piling laundry hidden in the wardrobe awaiting to tumble down at any time. Plus, it's been AGES since I last wrote. Recently, I gave up on the attempt of capturing a vision that I had received some years ago into the form of drawings. I recognized my limitation, knowing what my hand could produce would not be able to justify the awesomeness of the whole thing, which also led me to relinquish to the fact that there could be a reason behind- to let it just remain imprinted in my mind. Hence, my attempt to simply translate the vision into words.

It was on a typical Sunday morning in a church service setting, "an unexpected intrusion of beauty" happened. I recalled my eyes were closed and I could hear the worship team playing some tune on the backdrop. In the vision, I found myself being ushered into a pitch dark-setting. Then, a stream of light was cast in the middle, gently lifting the blanket of darkness, revealing what seemed to be an ice skating ring. There stood a skater, posing in poised and looking upward. She started wheeling herself around the ring as the light trailed her at every point. I will never forget that smile of assurance on her lovely face as she formed into a 'spiral' movement. Every move was noticeably graceful and confident. I watched in amazement, enthralled by the beauty and her flawless performance. And then, the breath-holding moment came when she slowed down at a corner and braced herself before she made a jump, soaring into the air and started spinning herself for the first, followed by a second..and the third time! She nailed it, landed safe and smoothly. Then, she secured herself in a position where she started spinning herself up maneuvering her arm to resemble a swan. Because of the speed and the lights reflected from her garment, it looked like a spinning ball of blue crystal. It was awesome! She slowed down and finally came to a stop looking up to the spotlight. Her countenance was beamed with joy and radiance.

I felt it was as if I was standing outside of what was actually taking place. No applause, no cheers no praises heard from the crowd. I observed that there was not a single soul present behind the ring! The smile on her face...oh that smile...it told so much of her joy and satisfaction. All that seemed to be coming forth from a deep communion with the light. She knew that she was being watched from above and that was all that mattered to her most. And that was it. She knew 'HE' was smiling back from above. It was as if she was designed to perform just for the pleasure and delight for 'HIM' alone. She had 'HIS' approval.

I would not say I've fully taken hold of it, eventually, I believe every encounter will help me gain a deeper insight and lead me to its greater mystery that is yet to unfold.
