Let’S Go Dancing in the Light: A Collection of Poetry and Prose for Soul and Spirit

By Gloria D. Gonsalves

What happens when soul and spirit go dancing together?

They get revealed for who they are. After a dance filled with sentiments of reflection, regret, pleasure, forgiveness, letting go, and acceptance, they get resurrected as a divine pair. Only then will a human possessing them be freed of earthly troubles.

Life offers a classroom of lessons so that you become aware of your higher self. In order to awaken or transform spiritually, you need an inward visit to your human experiences.

Lets go Dancing in the Light is a soulful anthology of poetry and prose. It is the sacred dancing venue of soul and spirit. Through narrations and poems, the book delves into human struggles and transformations as a spiritual quest to seek inner peace and the light of divinity. The stories and poems are humanly raw, for it is in the stripping bare of a soul that one can receive and give the blessing of light through spirit.

May you too find light when its time to bring your pair to the dancing venue.

A Prologue: On Religion And My Writing

There have been occasions where some of my readers confronted me regarding my religious denomination. My response has been and continues to be, Did you see a religious criterion to read any of my writing?

Religion should not be about converting or judging others. I would like to think that as humans we need to give each other the freedom to grow spiritually from any religious faith. Each one of us connects with a higher power in a way that makes sense to us, whether through Jesus, Muhammad, Yogananda, Buddha, archangels, etc. Therefore, my faith, your faith and their faith should not hinder us from treating each other with respect and love.

My messages are focused in inspiring readers regardless of their religious background. Sometimes I may lean more towards my Christian faith. This should not be translated that I want you to become one. It only means that I can express myself better that way. Also, I grew up in Tanzania, where all religious faiths are embraced with respect. The country’s public holidays include Christian and Muslim celebrations. As such, I do not hesitate to acknowledge lessons from other religious groups to help me grow spiritually.

As a reader, I thank you for understanding and respecting one another regardless of our religious background.
