All Good Things Come to an End

It's mid-week, post choir tour. We're heading into the next concert, which we sing in less than 2 weeks. Time is shifting back into the rhythm of papers, assignments, tests, presentations, and rehearsals. But we have great memories that include: composing songs together on the bus, singing in just about every space imaginable, including the welcome center at Ponca State Park in Nebraska, performing 12 successful concerts to appreciative audiences, consuming more cookies than humanly possible, yelling "What, what!" a LOT, requiring latecomers to wear green shamrock hats and crowns, eating fabulous Indian food in Madison..., the list goes on and on. Choir tours have a way of becoming time capsules of delightful times shared with peers, when music and travel and sleep deprivation and close quarters create friendships that last a lifetime. And provide the discovery that music, sung together, is a connection to others and to the Divine that is indeed a sacred space.
