2012 07 26 Insomnia

I was listening to Coldplay when I heard the words "when you're so tired but you just can't sleep." I love that song and it made me think of this: We were members of the Methodist church in Middle bury. There was a young, female pastor there, I think it was her first church out of seminary. When giving communion, she would greet everyone by name and a special message as she passed them the host, to me she said, "Michael, God loves you." I would invariably go back to my pew, tears running down my face, awed by what she told me. I have said and heard those words countless times, but never felt their meaning more intensely than after those communions. In those moments, the taste of bread and grape juice in my mouth, the most amazing, ineffable sensations surrounded me: light, warmth, a familiar touch, a radiant glowing, golden nimbus surrounded me. God loves you, Amy Morgan.
