#496: One Bread, One Body
Apr. 8th, 2021 10:44 pmWhen I was a kid my extended family were together at my house, and some of the adults were doing a hymn sing with guitars/piano/whatever, because they are nerds. The young cousins and I were playing hide-and-seek. One of my older, cooler cousins completely disappeared from everyone's view and I went nuts trying to find her. It was a weird blow to my pride that I could not, for some reason. Eventually my parents/the adults were like "calm down, come back inside, concede defeat on this one" and I reluctantly did, but my sense of failure at hide-and-seek haunted me for way too long after that. Anyway, this song was what the adults were singing when I came back in, I'm pretty sure. It's one of those bizarre emotional triggers that just sears itself into a weird part of my brain and I can't develop any further association with it. (Which is a good reason why setting policy based on triggers is arbitrary and not a good idea.)
