Breakthroughs in Letting Go

I took a friend with me to the Glide Church services yesterday morning, and we fully enjoyed the many layers of all that is Glide - gospel choir, solo gospel performances that rocked the building and everyone in it, jazz band complete with hall-of-famers, saxophone solo that trailed off leaving us in awe and silence, drum to comedic beats, picture of Maya Angelou when she visited that made me shreik with joy, sermon from Cecil Williams that spoke without preaching about letting go of guilt, of all that holds us back to become the person we were meant to be, reference to Martha Stewart and how her stint in prison changed her and could break her through higher levels she never thought possible, spoke truths that made us all nod in agreement as we could all relate.

I asked my friend if he could see me singing with the gospel choir. He said, "No, but I can see you up front singing a solo, belting it out." Not part of the crowd, out in front - hmmm...I'd love that, actually.
