When the doctors woke her after three days of anesthesia  a friend came to visit. She could have talked about an utterly bedridden body and much impairment  but instead she spoke about Love and its communion. Her body was disabled  yet her spirit soared. Everyones spirit can soar; this conviction compelled her to write \"Wild Dancing.\" \"Wild Dancing\" revolves around Love  our capacity to contemplate it  and its ability to change us. Contemplation is an extremely important  innately human  and often underrated capability  and Janice lets our experience of it describe its meaning and manifest its dynamics. The God that dances through this book is a person and a cosmic energy that livens and leavens everything and everyone.
