With the sky cloudless, I took off for the hinterlands in search of the perfect meetinghouse. The next production at work requires new visuals for the CD and liner notes.

the meetinghouse
Saturday, Rachel's memorial service was held in this Quaker meetinghouse in New York on Rutherford Place beside Styvesant Park.
As a child we chanted the rhyme: Quaker meeting has begun, no more laughing no more fun.
The space seems somber, but somehow lighter than earth. It especially appeals to me esthetically when it is empty of people. It's a light collector.
Dorcas gave the major eulogy. Brother Mel was there; we sang "Gott ist die Liebe" in a small choral ensemble. Monroe gave a profound tribute and benediction.
