Celtic Advent ~ Or How I Spent My Sunday

So How Did You Spend Your Sunday?

I had planned to polish up a bit of a poem I'm working on for a certain E – Less Contest.

Like most of my plans that got shot right to — well, let's just go with the "best-laid plans".

It all started with a mid-morning phone call from the Minister at the local United Methodist Church. It seems he had a rather nice little Advent Prayer, specifically A Celtic Advent Prayer that he wanted to be set to music. Not an unusual request and not quite as last minute as these things usually are. Having the luxury of a bit of a modicum of breathing space, I decided a bit of research might help me "get a feel" for what I was attempting.

BIG MISTAKE!

Research ended up being another one of those meandering journeys around the net, which I enjoy, but it did suck up most of my writing time.

Bottom Line? I never got to get "e-less" in New York. I do have two different settings of the poem working, actually on paper.

And What Do You Get Out Of This You Might Ask?

Well, you get a trinket for being a good sport and reading all this!
