Dance Like You Mean It
This makes me happy. (Read his blog as well. Witty observations and pictures that almost make up for the fact that I can’t be the globe trotter that I want to be.)

(The lyrics to the song, translated)
by Rabindranath Tagore
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass
and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.
It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth
and of death, in ebb and in flow.
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.
I honestly can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this over the last few days. There’s just something about watching all of those people in all of the world coming together that melts away every pessimistic thought in my head.

That was so cool! Thank you so much for the link. I am going to try to post it, too. I am going to go check out his blog as well.
How did you hear about this guy?
I think I found him randomly, through his old dancing video (you can find it through the YouTube page) and then discovered his blog and got hooked.
Isn’t it awesome? I just love seeing all of the people dancing together.

Oh, that makes me cry so hard.
Isn’t it the most beautiful thing? It ranks up there with the Free Hugs guy in showing the connection of the human race.
