March 8

Tonight we hosted these two lovely college girls, singers with the Kenyon college choir, on tour and needing housing for the night.  They are remarkable, in that way that college kids are remarkable. Beautiful.  Fresh.  Ready for the world.  We've had the most delightful evening chatting, drinking wine and editing pizza. It's quite a great to spend time with people who have not yet heard all our stories. :)

Their concert was pretty amazing too.

Resonant

Song pours out
From their faces
Ebullient
Resonant

With possibilities

They rejoice in the music
Imbue
It with a life

So strong in them
So full

Of light
In their eyes
Voices
Stories
Hopes

To be so young!

So much beauty on one stage
So much power

These smooth shining beings
Ready to take on
The world

 I applaud them
Clap  until my hands hurt
And it is for them
And also for my own youth

The memory of it
So sweet
So real

It resonates here
Vibrates
Rings out to silence
With the final chord
