Yesterday the wonderful celebration of Pentecost took place. The gift of the Holy Spirit given in wind and flame is remembered and the reality of the Spirit’s presence within each of us is reinforced. Music written for the day takes us there both with quiet sounds of mystical movement and with huge sounds and fiery tempos that engulf us in the power of this great event. This year, I could run out to meet it feeling better than I have felt for many days. What a blessing is that! The nausea is gone now, and the energy is much better.
