A Strange Thought

marriage crossed my mind today. and i started at the realization that somewhere on God's green earth, somewhere... that person lives. i get a strange sensation thinking about this. to think that my life will one day be irrevocably united with that man until the moment we draw our last breath... and i don't even know him yet. (or do i?) at this point, it is anyone to me. a shadowy figure at the edge of the future's horizon. if only he wasn't that... if only.... i knew who he was.

Lo, all things wake and tarry and look for thee:
She looketh and saith, "O sun, now bring him to me.
Come, more ador'd, O ador'd, for his coming's sake,
And awake, my heart, to be lov'd, awake, awake!"

Easter Madness is finally over!

phew! i've finally taken care of all my holy week/easter mass commitments and can finally catch my breath. i have to say, all the stress and exhaustion from the three days before easter made the schubert mass all the more worth playing. ugh, the music was beautiful, and in an old church with near perfect acoustics...? ugh. gorgeous. i did flub a few notes (mostly in the 'agnus dei'), but i don't think anyone noticed or even heard them considering the other instrumentalists practically overwhelmed the organ (which admittedly is unusual). one more performance to go!

[as a side note: i'm thrilled they finally charged kilpatrick and beatty... and with multiple felony charges!]
[as a side side note: i'm equally thrilled to read that he is not a savory character and so glad i didn't fall any farther]
