through the joining and the parting

There were abandoned churches all over Nova Scotia. Some had new life, others were too far gone for that to still be an option.

Today’s the first day of eight where I’m using a line from a Bruce Cockburn song as the post’s title. Why? Because he’s terrific, and because it seeemed like the thing to do. And because I wanted to see if I could do it.
You can hear “Don’t Forget About Delight”, the song these words are from here.
