Communal Feasting

for the last 2 years, every tuesday night we have gathered with a group of amazing folks to feast with one another. i am always surprised by how that rhythm marks my week, carrying me in ways i don't fully understand. today is monday, it has been long and i have much work to do before bed. but tommorrow by this time, i will be feasting with family. this was indeed, the only appropriate visual.

David Bazan [a new song]- "When We Fell"

With the threat of hell hanging over my head like a halo
I was made to believe in a couple of beautiful truths
That eventually had the effect of completely unravelling
The powerful curse put on me by you

When you set the table
When you chose the scale
Did you write a riddle
That you knew they would fail
Did you make them tremble
So they would tell the tale
Did you push us when we fell

If my mother cries when I tell her what I have discovered
Then I hope she remembers she taught me to follow my heart
And if you bully her like you’ve done me with fear of damnation
Then I hope she can see you for what you are

What am I afraid of
Whom did I betray
In what medieval kingdom does justice work that way
If you knew what would happen
And you made us just the same
Then you my Lord can take the blame
