Tonight I was cleansed of anger and doubt
by letting myself go while wave and wave of seasonal music washed over me, reconnecting me with the millions who have gone before. We all, at one time or another, had felt the futility of life, the arbitrary nature of how things get done, and yet, for a brief moment, especially in all of this holiday madness the hope and joy that wraps and delicate cocoon around us gives us the strength to carry on...

I saw the Full Cleveland Orchestra Tonight playing a druid chant recycled by the Christian faith looking to connect to longer roots....

I heard the joy of the orchestra as it built ever larger and more powerful music so more people could enjoy festive music...

Ah, it all made perfect sense, for a time at least, and I promised Mrs. WC Green that this trip across town to one of the most beautiful symphony halls in America would be an annual thing, our tradition as long as we cared to keep it going....

Rambling, I know but I am, for the first time in ages, a happy man.....

I mean, music.

This time of year I get so sentimental. Your experience would have given me chills. May the joy of the music stay with you til next year
