You know, I can't say that I'm not a little sad that "act one" is done.
To continue the metaphor, there is a reason that plays have acts. They signify departure and change.
But this place and time will never exist again. The "act" will never again be performed. It was just one showing. And it was a beautiful act. And only a few will know of it.
But the wonderful thing is that life goes on, actors come on stage right, and exit stage left. Some actors in the first act, never return for the second. The wind that blew them away was not capricious. It was insistent.
The second act may be a smaller production, but it will be immensely more rewarding. I look forward to the merry band that will continue with this production.
Some of you have other plays to be in--God speed. May you experience the richness and blessing I have.
