Every Thursday night in the summertime our local park hosts a free concert; and this week was the kickoff. We ate a picnic dinner surrounded by friends, and listened to the fun, soulful, and jazzy Kat Williams (click here to check out her myspace page). What a treat to be able to hear family-friendly live music for free! So awesome.At the end of the night Lili had made a new friend. A little girl around her age with bangs and long pigtails and a pink tee-shirt. All the kids were up front dancing and being silly, but it soon became clear that the two of them had formed a special bond. They were doing laps, chasing each other around a group of concert-goers, and then would stop and hug until they fell into a heap on top of each other. Then they would giggle like mad and start over...
How amazing to be young and so open to life that when you recognize a kindred spirit you can be hugging and knowing each other as "friend" before you even know their name.
