I’ve said probably too many times here that I don’t enjoy the temple. On the whole, that’s true, but the veil is a moment that appeals to me. The last time I went I was having some kind of brain freeze and mixed up several things. The only way to tell me was to grip my hand harder, or pull it a different way, or stop speaking. After my brain unlocked, I was ready to pass through and bracing myself for an annoyed temple worker. All I had to go on was his hand through the veil and it seemed rather gruff to me. But face to face we smiled at each other. I think I can learn something from the relief I felt at that moment.
