In Tune
by rebecca ~ August 31st, 2005. Filed under: Ordinary Miracles.A wonderful miracle occurred yesterday. On our way home from the Electronics Store (called BEST), I managed to whistle IN TUNE an entire refrain of the song “Auld Lang Syne”. I have never been able to whistle (or sing for that matter) in tune for such an extended moment.
Maybe this happened because it was the song played at the closing of BEST, so it was fresh in my ear, or maybe it was due to the starry sky with gigantic fluffy clouds and fresh pine scent in the night breeze or the rhythmic roll of my son’s stroller, but I know it can’t happen again. The notes rolled off my puckered lips like a perfect bird song. Maybe the ghost of a famous whistler entered my soul? Who would that be?
