Calm and Beautiful

I went to a Taize service tonight at my neighborhood church. It has been about three years since I attended a Taize service and this was one of the best. I am deeply moved by candles, music (especially chants in Latin) and deep shadows on the walls. I feel really close to some sort of presence, more like, actually, I feel really close to me. I find that I can be real when I am in these spaces and I don't have to pretend. Not that I actually go around trying to "be" someone else; more that I can't be me in the real world. I don't feel this way in certain moments in churches. It is like space becomes divine and there I am right in the middle of it all, not an outsider, but divine myself.
