Jack Rowland’s post on Facebook
after Eric Whitacre Singers Concert

It is not the notes
but the heart within the notes

not the physical vibration
but the loving intention

that reveals
that heals

the wounds still raw
the scars—surface and beneath

And something opens
some door of grace unearned

and you choose
to take a chance

almost hopeful
almost trusting

almost joyful even
and almost is enough
