HOT CHOCOLATE, TEARS, & LANGUAGE.

we sang the last measures of the song, in remembrance, and the tears wouldn't stop slipping down my cheeks and chin.  the words were so powerful, the context chilling, the sound flabbergasting.  if we sang from our souls, my soul was ablaze.  i didn't know what it was (because i rarely cry) but something powerful set me off and the only way to express it was by leaking fluids from the corners of my eyes.  my tears weren't full of salty water.  they were full of emotion.  a mixture of joy, pain, excitement, yearning, bliss, and longing.  according to henry wadsworth longfellow, "music is the universal language of mankind."  and we were speaking it.





 

Drinking hot chocolate late at night, going shopping at the malls, 4+ hour bus rides, meeting new musicians, and being in downtown salt lake city were all fun but my favorite part of the trip was definitely...the singing.
