Chanting

I mentioned in my week overview that I have started chanting. It has definitely been a new experience. A week ago when I stayed after matins for the service, I had just wanted to simply observe. But I quickly learned that if you stand at the chanter stand you need to participate. Since then, I’ve been eased into the chanting. Only two months ago I would have said chanting in English was something I didn’t really know. Now English seems like a breeze compared to the Spanish. While, it’s been humbling at times for sure, I’m trying to take it with the mentality that if I don’t push myself out of my comfort zone, I’ll never grow. I’ve got to test those boundaries, and keep pushing so I can improve, both in Spanish and as a person.
