The church hall is filled with the kindness of polished wood. Floor, baseboards, doors, trim, piano, organ. Even this exquisite ceiling. Who takes that kind of time with ceilings anymore? It is as if we have forgotten how to look up.

In the church hall children get up and sing, alone, in front of an adjudicator, a smattering of parents, and a sprinkling of strangers. In the adjudicator’s comments to the contestants afterwards, I learn that phrasing is about “keeping your musical ideas all together.” I have a vision of a large handbag.
