Too often, I don’t sit down until 10 p.m. to start a blog post, with every intent that it will only take a “few minutes.”
But, all too often, by the time I choose a topic, do some web research (otherwise known as stealing the work of others), select some appropriate pictures or graphics (otherwise known as stealing the work of others), and add a modicum of clever and evocative prose, damn if it’s not one or two in the middle of the effing night.
It ain’t gonna happen this night.
I am constantly clipping stuff out of the newspaper (remember those) and magazines (while they are still in existence) and I end up with Piles-o-Shit all over my desk.
Well, tonight I happened to pick up one clipping that listed a YouTube video, which is linked below.
This “event” occurred this past March in the Antwerp, Belgium, Central train station. Apparently the “flash mob” had only a couple of practices.
I will not pad or plump this simple, yet amazing item, as it stands alone as testament as to what the human spirit is capable of when people want to do something just to make others smile.
This made me smile.
Beautiful.
Nice one
I wonder how many others out there have been lucky enough to have encountered similar displays of serendipity.
I once did on a Paris metro and it remains a highlight of that trip.
