the peace and the guilt

the sunny afternoon, the humidity making me sweat profusely.

the preparation, the friends who make me laugh even while i work.

the start, the arrival of guests and their anticipation for the event.

the grace, the prayer said by andrew.

the food, the music, the fellowship, the laughter, the chatter, the people.

the night breeze, the peace, the solitude for a while.

the clean up, even more sweating, the arms aching.

the photo taking, the instax wasting, the packing and leaving.

the cabbing, the chatting.

it's been a wonderful day.

despite the nagging guilt that i should be having fun.

teach me, Lord, through your wisdom, to discern what time is for what.
