WHAT I WORE | Lace, Polka Dots, & More
One of the most hopeful and engaging grouping of words in our language is “and more.” You can find it at the bottom of the sign of this music store in Canton where I got my first flute when I was in fourth grade. To my ten-year-old self, “and more” was the beginner flute books and hundreds of lessons that would lead to intermediate books and then eventually complex sheet music for playing with a full band. On television, and more could be the last attempt of an infomercial to make a quick sale- something we all laugh at and parody in our day-to-day lives. And more is the extra yumminess of veggies on a cheese pizza or the candy toppings at a froyo shop. But in my life this Summer, I want that little phrase to be extended to, “and bike rides at dusk, and picnics overlooking the city, and star gazing on warm nights, and running through sprinkers with our clothes on, and having messy car washes with my family, and drinking on the patio with friends, and beating cancer. I’m so excited for this Summer and more!
