Fantastic writing. Beautiful history. Thank you. “I learned to understand music and prayer at the same time. I learned that some things can be meaningful even when they don’t make sense. I learned that singing together in a room with other people is not the same as singing alone. I learned that I somehow fit into a very long story and that history is not something that only happens in the rear view.”
David, you honed in on the center of the thing. That paragraph was what it was all about for me. Thank you for reading and for recognizing the heart of it. Still hoping to see you face to face one of these days.
