Peter Gabriel is in town tonight. I don't have the $50 for the cheapest ticket for myself. Clearly, we do not have $100 so both Kelse and I could both go. And then she's working tonight anyway.
It's an outdoor concert over on Cal campus, less than a mile from here. In fact, a few hours ago I heard them warming up. Yes, we can here it all the way over here. I thought about walking over to campus and finding a place to sit and just listen.
But then, I thought, how could I enjoy hearing this without Kelse?
"In Your Eyes" is, of course, our song. This version was the one we danced our first dance to at our wedding. It was magical to spend over ten minutes dancing, and inviting others to dance with us, until the entire crowd was sharing the joy of the experience. This song never fails to make me smile whenever I hear it. Ultimate mood lifter.
But I don't think hearing it live tonight while she is working would make me smile. It'd be incomplete. So I'm staying home tonight. We'll get to see him someday, for sure. And we'll dance, again, with everyone else.
Beautifully put JT.
