HOLD THAT JUDGMENT
It was interesting last night when we arrived at the party. Everyone was engaged with someone else and no one greeted us. I felt awkward and went into my judgments about the hostess.
So Annie and I grabbed a chair and talked to each other. We could have stayed home I thought to myself. This went on for about ten or fifteen minutes and finally someone broke off their conversation and the subject of mountain biking came up…I felt like a made a connection and then it was time for the food. We all got up and stood around the table lighting candles and blessing the food. That felt good and we ate. I hadn’t done that for a while.
In the chair next to me, Art, who I had played music with six months before at this same house sat down. After a while our conversation extended to playing music.
As we were winding down our playing music, Janis one of the people of the party came over and began talking to us about perhaps having us play at a party she was having. And it went on and I continued talking with Janis who I felt a deep connection with about one thing after the other.
It was getting late and it was time to leave…I had a good time…yet earlier in the evening I was ready to pack it in. So next time I’ll hold my judgments,
