Dancing with Sophia: A Choreography of Grace - Paperback

by Jaw VI (Author)

If you have experienced serendipitous hints of the Divine, this narrative may well resonate. It might also inspire you to record your recollections of those existential connections. The author has logged his experiences over decades and recounts many of them from youth through Navy years, professorships, political campaigns and through journeys as a priest. JAW VI's sense of the Divine has been imaged as the Holy Spirit whom he addresses using the

biblical name, Sophia. He has long sensed the Divine as dances with Her. Some of the recounted connections have been somewhat dramatic through

luminaries like Mother Teresa, Dorothy Day, and political and business

leaders. But, most have been seemingly ordinary, often conveyed through strangers and even some deceased, as well as through family and friends.

Remarkably, his most powerful connections with the Divine have been through the poor and powerless who have welcomed and tolerated him, and guided him--an admittedly clumsy dancer--into some thrilling waltzes and

tangos, twists and twirls with the Holy Spirit Sophia. Since She, not the

writer, has been the lead dancer throughout, a pseudonym is used for the

author who struggled to follow Her moves.
