A Hug

Last night was dress rehearsal for my band's concert this weekend. It was a good rehearsal, but it was a trying day leading up to it, one of those days that makes you question why you do what you do and one that makes you think sticking your head in the oven might be a reasonable alternative.

At the end of rehearsal a band member unexpectedly came up to me and gave me a hug. That was his whole purpose. He wanted nothing other than a hug with me. I don't know what motivated him, but it was a very human moment. One of those little moments that have no grand purpose in life but still provides a moment of profound beauty that gives life meaning.
