just yesterday.
i was sitting in the front seat of my boss' car.
on the highway.
in traffic.
somewhere in the middle of daegu city.
my boss, mrs. lee
speaks very little english.
i even less korean.
a great combination.
mrs. lee's two grown daughters
were crowded in the backseat next to
lumps of teaching supplies and winter coats.
the sun shone in through the front window
warming my stomach and throat with its insistent beams.
then it happened.
my boss...began...
to sing.
"i havvvve a drrrreeeaaaam. a soooong to siiiing"
i hestitiated.
unsure of just what exactly was taking place.
in the next moment, when the backseat daughters
chimmed in with harmony, i knew.
i knew this experience,
this whole experience...
was unlike any other i would ever have.
and i was grateful.
so grateful,
that i joined in for the following song
a rendition of sound of music,
'do re mi'.
because not everyone get to sing
classics with their boss.
with the sun shinning.
on a wednesday afternoon.
