death and new life

Embracing a ‘strange’ adventure

It was so loud. Sometime in the midst of shouting to a volunteer about what was next, I realized, it’s so loud. The music was blasting from speakers that hadn’t been used for some time. The projector was purring with images of life. The kitchen was clanging with volunteers trying to get food to the table. Children were squealing as they ran around balloons and new friends. And the adults were laughing, and laughing, and laughing.
