I love small magical moments
Those that catch you totally by surprise and make you stop dead in your tracks
Friday night was a case in point, and one I didn’t describe adequately at the time, but it was as moving as it was unexpected and it was collectively felt and experienced by everyone present in the same way, which is always rare yet surprisingly moving.
The adults were all busy with doing Things as ten year old Imogen was asked to test the sound system in the memorial Hall.
There were a dozen of us in the hall as she started to sing.
A young soprano, with a beautifully clear voice singing Doll on a Music Box from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
The room fell silent immediately.
Then The Velvet Voiced Linda and others waved their arms in way of accompaniment as the little girl’s voice literally filled the hall.
One of those moments that just happen out of nowhere
My husband and I called these Susan Boyle moments. I still do. Magical and a privilege to behold.
ReplyDeleteYes Susan Boyle, what an utter surprise she was a true Wow moment.
DeleteWhere is the video of Imogen? I was just going to watch it and can’t see it!
ReplyDeleteHer mum didn’t want it shown 🙁
DeleteYes, some things are just so beautiful and magical you almost can't believe they're real. Moments to treasure and store away for those days when life is less than perfect! xx
ReplyDeleteI think we all felt this last Friday
DeleteIs there an update on the German? You mentioned having a meeting with him. Hope all goes well there, although preferably with him now being without his partner.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been talking to him , he and the guy he’s been seeing has split up
DeleteI love the way you just tossed that in. :)
DeleteI’m not a relationship wrecker ( the troll will no doubt name me as one) apparently he didn’t have a “ partner” but he was dating
DeleteWhat a lovely surprise. My surprise if I sang for anybody, would be how quickly they asked me to stop:)
ReplyDeletePixie my choirmster says everyone can sing xx
DeleteWhat serendipity to be there as witness to the magic! I can see why her mum didn't want her daughter seen world wide.
ReplyDeleteAh, something may be afoot with the kind and interesting German?!
Hope you're feeling good all over.
Hugs!
We video chat most days , his partner was not a long term partner but a dating “ date” , who he’s no longer dating…..unfortunately my German friend lives in southern Shropshire
DeleteFuck John , you slipped in “ we chat most days” just under the friggin radar!
DeleteMore info is now needed
Lee
Tee hee
DeleteGood song to sing, our girls loved that movie.
ReplyDeleteFunny I hated it, except this one small sequence
DeleteWhen I was an avid birdwatcher, I had a great buddy I'd go out with. We had several amazing moments with wildlife that we called "National Geographical Moments" that were similarly magical.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely
DeleteOh yes, moments like that are so precious. Hold them in your heart.
ReplyDeleteI always do susan , and I remember them here, always here
DeleteYoung Imogen must have the voice of an angel, and it charmed everyone in a very unsuspected way. Magical moments are precious, and group magical moments are swoon-worthy.
ReplyDeleteI was once working in the hospice when a nurse sang a Welsh lullaby with a patient , another nurse , stood next to me in the office started to sing too ( the harmony) and the whole unit stopped to listen
DeleteIt was magical
We heard magic like that once in a happy, noisy pub in Ireland. The pub had several interconnected rooms. A lady with a clear, lovely voice began singing in the front room. The pub quieted room by room and stayed still until her song finished. The memory has stayed with my family for years.
DeleteHow magical and lovely that Isobel felt relaxed and able to sing in front of friends like that.
ReplyDeleteThose moments are truly magical. Few and far between but so welcome.
ReplyDeleteThose magical moments never leave your memory do they. How wonderful. xx
