Men Who Sing

This about pure unadulterated joy.  Much like life with dogs.  Similar to happy tails just wagging to beat the band.

We have a friend who sings with the Pathfinders Chorus from Fremont, NE.  They are a men's A Cappella chorus.  Until last evening we had never heard them perform.  But I have to tell you I have new respect for men who sing.  Most of us, perhaps all of us, would love to sing.  Some of us sing only in the car, or the shower for obvious reasons.  Others will sing in church, but only because that is one place you will be forgiven for being a less than harmonious singer.  Enthusiasm will only get you so far.  There are times, though, that enthusiasm and lack of talent will still get you shot at sundown. 

But, and there is always a but,  these guys more than make up for those of us who missed out on singing talent.  They sing for the love of singing and in doing so honor the gift of voice they've been given.  It was incredible.  Even partying with them at the bar afterwards they broke into song.  Everything stopped in that moment which is exactly as it should be.

Such a reminder to stay in those moments that bring joy.  Be they moments of joy with small children, with our beloved pets, our families, our passions......and definitely in those moments with men who sing.
