Recently I had a moment where my heart when leaping outside of my body. First it lept up on stage, encircled tiny hands holding onto a microphone for dear life, then bounced around the gym, swirled around the room and lept back in my chest, making me feel like I could explode with love for all 200+ people in the room. In fact, anytime I made eye contact with anyone, I would put my hands to my heart and they would nod back at me with understanding.
What could cause such a heart explosion than one little voice, filling up the elementary gym. A little tiny five year old voice captivating every single man, woman and child in earshot.
Little Nevie has found her voice and has found an outlet to let everyone see her heart: her beautiful singing voice. She sang 'One Light, One Sun' with a smile as big as the sun and with all her might in front of hundreds of people and students at her Spring concert.
If you've known the vulnerable places we've been alongside her in her short five years, you would be with me, with your heart walking outside your body, until the song is sung and your body is clapping without your knowlege, and you're transporting yourself onto the stage to give her the biggest hug you can muster up.
My heart could burst. Right up there with the birth of each child as one of the best moments of my life.
p.s. I've tried a million-and-one ways to post this video, with no luck whatsoever. Any tips?
