been to a funeral and really wondered what the family members were thinking? Sure, people are mourning, but you have to wonder about the people who don't show any emotion at all - it is really ineteresting to me - I have been observing this for such a long time - but I guess it depends on the circumstances - which of course makes sense.
How old was the person -
How did they die -
was it a long or short illness -
Soooo if I feel that I can't "read" the family or friends... I make it my mission to make eye contact with them - I know, that is horrible.
It seems when I sing for funerals, anytime I try to make eye contact with someone in the congregation, they almost immediately turn away, they don't react to the music, or the message I am trying to send. The only ones that seem to look back are very old people and young children (who usually wave at me!) I find it so fascinating why people don't want to make that connection. They almost look ashamed. So then I start thinking (which we all know is never a good thing for me to do) 'what if they feel guilty about something they said or did to the deceased' and they cant look at me - it almost feels as though if they actually look at me, I would be able to suddenly read their minds ....
All I have to say to that is..
Be careful what you wish for....
peace, love and coffee-
