he's an old man, this one who sits on the stool and leans against the wall, eyes closed and face soft. Were it not for his hand stroking his beard. Do you think he was asleep. Some in the room, assume he is he does this often during worship as the people sing. His eyes will close and his chin will fall until it rests on his chest and there he will remain motionless silent. Those who know him well know better. They know he's not resting. He's traveling atop the music. He journeys back back back until he is young, again, strong again. There again. They're on the seashore with James and the apostles there on the trail with the disciples and the women there in the temple with Caiaphas and the accusers. It's been 60 years, but John sees him still. The decades took john's strength. But they didn't take his memory. The years dulled his sight, but they didn't dull his vision. The seasons may have wrinkled his face, but they didn't soften his love. He had been with God God had been with him. How could he forget the wine that moments before had been, water, john could still taste it. The mud placed on the eyes of the blind man in Jerusalem, john could still remember it. The aroma of mary's perfume as it fills the room. John could still smell it. And the voice o the Voice. His voice, John could still hear it. I am the light of the world. It rang, I am the door? I am the way the truth the life I will come back, It promised and take you to be with me. Those who believe in me, it assured, will have life. Even if they die, John could hear him, John could see him scenes branded on his heart. Words seared into his soul. John would never forget how could he? He had been there.
