Walking the Wall

As I have said before, I love to dance, but I am not good at it, enthusiastic, but not good at it. This video (thank you, Jason, for showing it) makes me smile, laugh, get weepy…I think it’s great and going to his website (whereinthehellismatt.com) you can find a lot more interesting things to read and watch about the whole process–along with a better quality version of the video. This is the third incarnation and he just put it up 5 days ago. It just shows the connection around the world, we’re all people, we are all capable of standing up and dancing like dorks and getting a kick out of it. As a side note, I was also happy to find out that all the video was captured with a Canon Powershot (the camera I just bought): ETA, the two earlier videos were, I think this one was actually shot in HD).

The lyrics of the song were taken from Stream of Life by Rabndranath Tagore, (the song Praan, is composed by Gary Scyman):

Stream of Life

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.
