(not necessarily in that order)
This isn’t really the perfect metaphor, because Spiritual Renewal Week has been showering us in light all week long. The speakers, the friendships, the music, the special events, Kriya…all filled with light and love and joy!
So, it’s not about coming out of darkness into light, but simply that it’s been a really long, full, intense week and we’re finally within sight of the end.
Stocked up on groceries for the week. ✅
Laundry done (eight days of jewel tone tops). ✅
Choir reminders scheduled. ✅
Joy Singer songs rehearsed. ✅
Kirtan and concert videos received. ✅
A final few tasks to complete tomorrow and then the fun begins!
SRW (Spiritual Renewal Week) 2019 was our amazing, miraculous, almost-unbelievable 50th anniversary celebration.
SRW 2020 was chaotic and disorienting; completely online; scrambling to figure it all out.
And now it’s time for SRW 2021. We’ve survived! We’re not entirely back to normal, but making progress. It’s easy to still feel a little disoriented due to the continuing changes and adjustments as things slowly open back up.
The good news is live singing is happening, and it feels great to be tackling the challenge of scheduling singing, chanting, and instrumentals for daily classes, evening kirtan, evening concert, and Sunday service.
Yes, it’s a bit exhausting but also exhilarating, because we’re almost all the way back to our good old, normal, crazy-busy SRW!
