we gather because
the idea
is that we
bring
all the good people
together
to make
something
none of us
could make
alone
it’s why we
naturally
gather
in groups
why even
monks
practice being
alone
in the company
of other monks
why we run
through a downpour
to sit
listening
to the innermost
secrets
of people
we’ve never met
why we buy a drink
for the bard
after the show
it’s why
there will
always
be music
in any place
where people
care about
the happiness
of other people

A simple poem, inspired by a night of beautiful music in Auburn. Pictured above are the people who made the music — Christina Cecrle and Daryl Shawn.
Wow, this is a truth .
Love this. We are more magical than the sum of our parts.
