Much calmer now

One of my favorite religious traditions is participating in a Taizé service, if I can find one. There aren't many in this area, but last night St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Napa held a particularly nice one. There were six musicians, the church was dark except for the candles and the white lights of the Christmas trees, and the melodic repetitions of the Taizé chants lulled us into the right brains of our right minds. I wish I could find more of the same.
