singing the dixie chicks in four part harmony.

Tonight we were driving, and Anjali found the Dixie Chicks on my ipod. We turned them up and started singing, and I remembered. Without warning it was two and a half years ago, and I was sitting in the back seat. I didn't even do it on purpose, it just happened. It's funny how our minds work that way sometimes.

Then I became one of the older ones telling stories to the younger ones about things and moments that they wouldn't understand unless they were there.

I let myself stay in that moment for a while,
listening to the music and replaying all these thing -
moments and memories until I made myself come back.
And it was wonderful and heartache all at the same time.
In a good way.

ready, ready, ready, ready,
ready to run.
