In November of 2019, I attended a classical chamber ensemble performed by the Gewandhaus Woodwind Quintet. The evening was co-sponsored by several partners, including the Germanic-American Institute in St. Paul, Minnesota and Wunderbar Together (love this name), a Germany and American friendship organization.
It’s Halloween 2019 as I write this. Pumpkins, corn stalks, skeletons, and cemetery displays are decorating the neighborhoods. I like cemeteries. Cemeteries can simultaneously comfort and creep out, be private and public, and be empty and full. They tend to be peaceful, and as a cousin of mine pointed out, the residents aren’t judging.
