00:00:00.630 --> 00:00:04.430 align:middle line:84%
This is so different
that, well--

00:00:04.430 --> 00:00:07.490 align:middle line:84%
it's very different
little history, now,

00:00:07.490 --> 00:00:11.750 align:middle line:84%
to end on a quieter
mood entirely.

00:00:11.750 --> 00:00:13.490 align:middle line:90%
Number 32-- "Devotion."

00:00:13.490 --> 00:00:20.111 align:middle line:90%


00:00:20.111 --> 00:00:24.800 align:middle line:84%
"In the pew in front of me sat
two teenage sisters, come along

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:27.410 align:middle line:84%
with their short
dad and tall mom,

00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:31.220 align:middle line:84%
who held hands and
stared forward.

00:00:31.220 --> 00:00:34.820 align:middle line:84%
Shortly after the service
began, the older sister

00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:38.600 align:middle line:84%
leaned forward,
put her head down.

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.390 align:middle line:84%
The younger one, with
longer blond hair,

00:00:41.390 --> 00:00:44.570 align:middle line:84%
trailed her fingers
across her sister's back,

00:00:44.570 --> 00:00:47.750 align:middle line:90%
lightly scratching her t-shirt.

00:00:47.750 --> 00:00:51.200 align:middle line:84%
She trailed her fingers along
the far side of her sister's

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.940 align:middle line:84%
back, up and over the
ribs then down again,

00:00:55.940 --> 00:00:59.870 align:middle line:84%
circling around the small,
and then up the other side,

00:00:59.870 --> 00:01:01.970 align:middle line:90%
then plunging into the nape--

00:01:01.970 --> 00:01:03.800 align:middle line:90%
the hair.

00:01:03.800 --> 00:01:06.575 align:middle line:84%
When she was done,
she leaned forward.

00:01:06.575 --> 00:01:09.480 align:middle line:90%


00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:13.320 align:middle line:84%
The older one began pushing
her sister's blonde hair

00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:17.940 align:middle line:84%
out of the way, some to one
side, some to the other.

00:01:17.940 --> 00:01:22.920 align:middle line:84%
Then she danced her fingers
up and down her sister's back.

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.470 align:middle line:84%
This girl had a more
desultory technique,

00:01:25.470 --> 00:01:28.590 align:middle line:90%
casual and confident.

00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:32.880 align:middle line:84%
Her wrist bent back,
then swung forward.

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:39.390 align:middle line:84%
She paused, the priest
implored, she resumed.

00:01:39.390 --> 00:01:45.480 align:middle line:84%
Her fingertips trailed over the
back the ribs, the backbone.

00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.180 align:middle line:84%
She too swooped into
the nape of the neck

00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:51.420 align:middle line:90%
and let her fingers rest there.

00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:54.660 align:middle line:84%
Neither of the sisters ever
spoke a word to each other.

00:01:54.660 --> 00:01:57.360 align:middle line:84%
They took second,
then third turns,

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:02.570 align:middle line:84%
and the church was intoxicated
by frankincense and myrrh."

00:02:02.570 --> 00:02:03.870 align:middle line:90%
OK, thanks y'all.

00:02:03.870 --> 00:02:07.220 align:middle line:90%
