Bad ritual

The microphone feeds hissing speakers.

Every other word of song is missed.

a man on stage smiles often: who is he?

The sikh man introduced: maharishi.

Leads but does not explain ramasada chant (earth, moon, universe, I am thou)

A gospel song.

A hebrew song. 

A bell.

Some raise their arms. Some lower their heads.

"what are those"? (hanging bronze censers)

"please turn to the person next to you"

giggles.

All present try.

Photographers move with purpose.

The seated crowd try.

The leaders try.

The speakers turned off.

What should we do?

Knowing why but not what.

Not knowing but wanting.

The sacred space but wondering

Whispers.

Music.

All gathered for a purpose.

One body.

Many minds.
