THE OLD AND THE NEW

We attended a delightful musical at our local professional theater last night.

It was Reunion: A Musical Epic... a musical treatment of the American Civil War.

Moving and most thought-provoking.

We enjoyed a superb Italian dinner prior to the performance.

Arriving at the theater fifteen minutes before curtain, we were offing coats and viewing exhibits in the outer hallway when what to our wondering eyes should appear…but a good sized Michigan deer…working his way through snow drifts just outside the windows.

How appropriate.

Mid-19th Century – early 21st…

The old and the new…

The music of the War struck all sorts of emotional cords…and the deer somehow sealed the deal…

Italian dinner; Civil War authenticity; and rural deer - all in one package.

We loved it.

There is meaning here.
The event is pregnant with it...but I cannot put it into words.
Don't have to.

But I had to pass it on.

Ttoo late to figure it out tonight.
