When I meditated on the word guidance, I kept seeing "dance" at the end 
of the word.  I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like 
dancing.  When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.  The movement 
doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and 
jerky.  When one person realizes and lets the other lead, both bodies 
begin to flow with the music.  One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge 
to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another.  It's as 
if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, 
willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and 
skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word guidance.  When I saw "G," I thought of God, 
followed by "u" and "i."  "God, "u" and "i"  "dance." God, you, and I dance.
And God is the leader.  This statement is what guidance means to me.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get 
guidance about my life.  Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
