I go to church with regularity. Contrary to the expression, I am religious but not spiritual. Every ounce of effort I put into our church community is worth it. In efforts to help those in need and to push for equality among all races, genders, ages, and sexual orientations, I have been able to experience the true gift that my church is on the community. However, I am conflicted. In no way do I believe in a God that is active in our lives. I often debate the question whether it is moral for me to participate in an institution which is based on definite core values that I do not share. For now I plan to continue my involvement in the church, if for no other reason but for the special connection I have made with members of the faith community.
I think longingly of the innocence of the main characters in "Moonrise Kingdom." While we can never escape the knowledge we've taken in, I resolve to keep delving into the unknown. Perhaps, once again, I can be innocent and ignorant, at least for a moment.
Dress rehearsals for Sondheim's "Into the Woods" start tomorrow. It'll be fun to play through the entire show with the singers for a first time. I'm look forward to it. I am sad that I won't be able to see the show though, the disadvantages of playing in the pit.
My continued thoughts for those in Aurora. I wish peace for all those involved.
A second installment.
