“And then Mama Cass sings instructions on how to dream.
The grandchildren dance too.
So with my children and grandchildren circled around me, with my husband in my arms remembering quite well how to dance, I do a rock step and the years tingle through me.

So I dance now as if time is the music.”
― Sarah Damoff, The Burning Side

“I feel my hands start to shake, frustrated that someone so close to me could misunderstand the situation so deeply.”
