Making sense

Anne Lamott, on writing ...

"We are a species that needs and wants to understand who we are. Sheep lice do not seem to share this longing, which is one reason why they write so little. But we do. We have so much we want to say and figure out.”

"Dancing Queen"

Dang, I love this song! Takes me back to when I was seventeen and so carefree and optimistic and able to dance for hours on end without waking up in pain.

"Dancing Queen"
Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus & Stig Anderson

Ooh
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the Dancing Queen
Friday night and the
lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play
the right music
Getting in the swing
You've come to look for a
king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the
music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything's fine
You're in the mood
for a dance
And when you get the
chance
You are the Dancing Queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing Queen
Feel the beat from
the tambourine
Oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the Dancing Queen
You're a teaser,
you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and
then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood
for a dance
And when you get the
chance
You are the Dancing Queen
