I’ve written before about how disorienting this past year has felt, as we’ve gone month after month (after month) without the anchor of our regular choir rehearsals. Focused around rotating cycle of seasonal events, I never realized just how important they were to helping me know where I was in space and time.
So, sure enough, about a week ago I sort of “woke up” and realized: “It’s almost Easter!” But it didn’t feel real.
Until tonight, when our Village choir had an Easter Zoom sing-along, during which we sang all twelve choir songs from the Oratorio composed by Swami Kriyananda. Oh my, it was like finding an oasis in the middle of the desert; it felt that good to sing these inspired songs with our fellow choir members — even through Zoom and even without all the solos and instrumentals.
And now I’m in the mood, with — thank goodness — lots more Oratorio opportunities ahead! In tomorrow’s blog I’ll share more information and links, just in case you’d like to tap into this inspiration for yourself.
