ambient noise
10 collegiate minds crowding a table, prodding the ideas and thoughts of a wise theologian
he’s dressed casually, baseball cap, t-shirt - nothing externally indicative of his intelligence save for his knowing, aged eyes
he opens his mouth in between contemplative bites to slowly but articulately form answers to question after question
sharing experiences
departing truth
a dozen more conversations buzzing, alive in the adjacent room
a phone is allowed to ring - three, four, five times, Hello?
a young man sits at the piano and begins to play
so perfectly surrounded, so perfectly loved, so perfectly warm
the sound of togetherness, a saturday evening
