A bit of magic in a world of the mundane.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Tonight as I was writing my paper for Chi122 and listening to random songs on winamp, something magical happened.

I was typing furiously as my winamp randomly selected Tony Bennett’s The Way You Look Tonight. As soon as the first few notes played, Pen-kun and I looked up from our laptops, smiled and got up and started dancing around the room. We danced to Mr. Bennett’s heartfelt lyrics of love and beauty and made a bit of our own special magic as we held onto each other as he sang the words. It didn’t matter that the floor creaked under our feet, or that we tried to dance around the clutter on the floor. Our hands and our hearts touched and embraced one another as it hadn’t done in a long time. Finally after much creaking and laughter we contented ourselves to holding each other and swaying to the song. It just felt right, there’s no other way to describe it.

As the song ended, he bent down and kissed my forehead and we went about our business. But before life took over again, I could swear that everything in life was perfect as it had never been. It’s things like that that I live for.

That’s wonderfully spontaneous.

I can be spontaneous too, given time to prepare.

What a wonderful moment. Cherish times like those. They tend to be far too rare.

I love it when things like that happen.

Several years back, I used to work night shift in a plastic injection factory. Wilson Pickett’s “Midnight Hour” came on the radio and all production within about 30 feet of my bench stopped as everyone had an impromptu dance break. 3 in the morning in the middle of a sweltering summer and I’m suddenly doing the grind with Gwen, my shift supervisor, while half a dozen or so other factory rats are paired off with each. Then the song ended and everyone went back to work, no words spoken. Good times. :slight_smile:
