Christmas Eve service…….

I’m @ 10th for the chiristmas eve service -
took the downstairs option (again).
Guess I’ll just catch the service,
then just head home.
(mid-service)
as always, the “amens” and baby’s cries
break through the ceremony’s seriousness
as if to tell us not to take it all TOO seriously.
children just cry out -
we learn later to hold our tongues,
but are little different in will or mind -
were we truly honest about it.
held out ’til before the 4th anthem
before engaging in in a much needed
yet understated emotional release.

(post service)
I’m still sitting in the basement
staring at a large TV, now with no signal -
just white noise….
time to wrap it up
and see whom I can see on the way out.
L8R….
