By Susan Esther Barnes
What do you do when you encounter unspeakable beauty?
When words and actions and music and voices
combine with grief and joy and comfort
to create one holy moment after another
when God’s presence fills the spaces inside and in between
the people and the room and the instruments
and you think to yourself
Life can’t possibly be any better than this
and someone says
Maybe this is the world-to-come
What do you do when the best outlet you have
is to pour it into words on paper
but you know for these moments
words on paper are utterly inadequate
What can you do other than soak it in
and feel grateful in the moment
then go home
and try to stop it from slipping away
