it didn't matter what you were doing. if you were upstairs in your room or in the kitchen eating. anyone could start it. in the early days of napster when we were in awe of the music that was at our finger tips...
the music was always loud. and whoever started it on the stereo swayed waiting for others to join them. i remember one dance in particular. i was upstairs in the house with plum carpet. i heard the music start...i ran to the landing of the stairs to look who had beckoned us to come and dance. i found my mom in the living room swaying her arm like a guitar waiting for her grown children to come and join her. from my perch i saw jake come around the corner, adam pop up off the couch, the music and mom calling them.
and that made it all the more sweet tonight. when isaiah picked that same song, turned it up and started dancing. his sister finished her dinner faster, the baby toppled off mommy's lap to join in too. and there i was, watching the next generation. a different family - but the same blood running through their veins. a family who can't help but move together and dance.
