We had our annual Blues Sunday yesterday at the UU. A great Klezmer group played blues from another culture. The music was somber and uplifting at the same time. During the last song, some folks got up and danced up and down the aisle-old, young, middle-age-it was a beautiful sight. I had walked to church and on my way home I cried. I cried for many reasons...
I cried for the music I had the pleasure of hearing and for the community of my UUers.
I cried for my ex-partner and feel sad that he once experienced an alternative view of the world with me and is missing out on so much. I cried because I miss walking arm-in-arm with him. I miss my parents and all of their wisdom and love. I miss my innocence.
I miss our big, extended family get-togethers. I cried for my friend who is facing a summer of chemotherapy and healing. And finally I cried because it was so beautiful outside and the sun felt so good and it was exactly what I needed.
I ended my day with a cup of tea and a book while sitting on my west facing deck taking in all that the sun had to offer.
