It is a busier than average Thursday night in the kitchen. Dishes sit on the counter awaiting their turn in the dishwasher. Plants are reaching out for the sunlight they so desperately deserve. Snacks are left open and half finished. Mail is sorted but waiting for a home. Big V & I are discussing the usual work and life scheduling. The table is strewn with evidence of the day, sketchbooks, stickers, colored pencils, remnants of a necklace being made. The dog is in his corner chasing a rubber bone that continues to elude him. And in the middle of it all, there she is, little V. With her ridiculously skinny legs, unbrushed end-of-the-day hair, twirling like a dervish and a smile as wide as the ocean singing, "hey hey hey-no matter how life gets today-there's just one thing I got to say-won't let another moment slip away."
And I promise, I won't ever let this moment slip away...
The song is Hey hey hey and it has to be one of the best songs ever written. Thank you, Michael Franti. (confession- I have to listen to this song at least once every day.)
