It was a long day
By the time we got to the performing
I was bone tired exhausted
But hearing Daniel Rein's music ring out in the synagogue
To a full congregation
And seeing two women weeping
In the final moments of the Sacred Service
The way the audience was so still
You could feel it was something special
All those tricky rhythms and tempo changes and dynamic surges every other measure
Just the epic demanding sing of it
Totally worth it
Seeing Jez and Margo sitting in the same row as David and Katherine
Front and center
Found family with chosen family
Knowing Aaron was there too
Oh how good it was.
