Returning Home

I offered this prayer at the start of today’s floor session of the House of Delegates.

 

“Why is this night different from all other nights?”

That question was asked at Passover seders last night.

Why could this Orioles season be different from other recent seasons?

That question was asked around the seder table last night in Northwest Baltimore and elsewhere in the metropolitan area.

The seder takes place at home, not a synagogue.

Baseball begins at home plate.

The catcher signals the pitcher.

The batter hopes to reach base and begin his journey home.

Opening Day may be postponed for one day.

But the season will last for 162 games.

81 on the road and 81 at home.

And after only 90 days, we too will return home.

To the people who sent us here.
