It Is Okay To Dance Here
She fell off the stage which had happened many times before.
The audience gasped, but she laughed
Because she is a comedian, and she always thinks it’s funny.
The next second she is on a different dancing platform.
A bridge walkway of some sort, clouds have appeared.
What do you think? Her spirit guide asks.
She looks to her right and sees Jesus.
It’s okay to dance here! He tells her.
Her first impulse is to hug him, and she is impulsive so….
He laughs.
“What happened?” She asked. Did I die?
Death is an illusion, Jesus tells her.
You are more alive than ever before.
But I always fall off the stage, she says.
“It is usually great!” People laugh and I get back up.
“How much more up can we get?” Jesus asks her. “Go ahead!”
So the dancer who forgot dancing at ninety is not like dancing at nineteen
Began to dance. She danced all the way to the pearly gates.
