All which, because it was
flame and song and granted us joy, we thought we'd do, be, revisit, turns out to have been what it was that once, only; every invitation did not begin a series, a build-up: the marvelous did happen in our lives, our stories are not drab with its absence: but don't expect to return for more. Whatever more there will be will be unique as those were unique. Try to acknowledge the next song in its body -- halo of flames as utterly present, as now or never.
