JC changed the level of expectation for the All Souls Lenten series. His performance would have been sensational on any stage in the world. In our little nave it was incandescent. One of the few times I witnessed a local performance and could not have said, “I could have done it better.” I sat very close and could see the seamlessness of concentration. Also, accidentally, I sat beside his mother, who was beside herself with pride. Full house, or close enough, many of whom (you knew by the staring and pointing) had never been in the space before. 

Fell on the steps in the dark. Descending, I thought, “Is this THE fall?” It wasn’t.
