It's not what Easter means to me; it's not even what worship means to me, exactly, because the whole concept of group worship is something that's never emotionally clicked with me when I'm actually practicing it rather than thinking about it. So it's funny that I get such a feeling of "Yes, this is it exactly, this is right" from this post, because I'm having trouble tracking down what exactly is behind the gut reaction of recognition. It's not church, but it's there, all the same.
Singing, maybe. Partly. In a choir, voices lifted, in aching harmony, all together and all shaping something that's beautiful and mournful and glorious all together -- there are reasons that I love hymns.

And: yes.
