If
all goes as planned, by the time people in the Western Hemisphere read this, I
should be on a flight back home after nearly three weeks in Prague, Berlin and
Paris. It’s been a very good journey for me—not all pure positivity, but I took
the trip to try to sort through some things I’d rather not think about.
And
today is Gratitude Monday, and the second day of Advent. So here’s a Christmas
carol from France, “Les anges dans nos campagnes”. Anglophones know this as “Angels
We Have Heard on High”, so you probably don’t need a translation.
I
chose this performance because it tickles me that some boy choir in white monks
robes are performing a French Christmas carol in Seoul. Globalization, eh?
I’m
grateful for this trip, for seeing new things and revisiting some familiar
ones. I’m grateful for the season of Advent, and for sharing it with friends
and family. And I’m grateful to be headed home, where I can do a real load of laundry.
