And our secret names were spoken
Have you heard this? A Dream of Gardens, vocals by Olga Nunes and lyrics by Neil Gaiman. She’s got songs for download on her website, and I highly recommend them. Her voice is wonderful.
Yesterday gave me my own person “IMMD” moment. I was coming back on post, which requires showing a military issue ID, so I roll up to the guard (who has arms the size of cannons and I can see the outline of tattoos pressing against his sleeves) and has a face that makes you think he’d just as soon rip your head off and play basketball with it as help you across the street.
So, I hand him my ID and smile and wait to be waved through. He looks my ID over, and as he’s handing it back, he pauses, his ear cocked towards my open window. And starts singing along with Owl City’s THE SALTWATER ROOM. We had our own little karaoke moment right there at the main gate, staring down the other guards and people who were trying to get on post.
I looked at him and said “you’re just made of win, aren’t you?” I was smiling the rest of the day.
that’s awesome!!!
