Dancing Back the World

Today I saw a girl dancing outside the library. A black girl in a white dress. Just dancing.

She didn't have a tip jar out. She didn't look starved or even starved for attention. She was smiling.

People moved aside and gave her space. Many smiled. Some stayed to watch for a short time. At least until the light changed and they could cross the street.

Even from the 5th floor of the parking garage across the street, I could still see her graceful movements, still hear the plaintive strains of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. It was... transforming.

Do something. Do anything. Take back the world. For a moment. For a day. Maybe if we keep it up, we can change the world permanently.
