Inspiration: Dancing Around the World

So here’s the link to this week’s inspirational video. It’s exactly what you’d expect, people dancing from all over the world. There’s many scenic locations covered in the film along with cultures and different dance styles.

But the thing I love the most is what the creator has to say in his Explanation:

“What are these humans doing? Dancing. Many humans on Earth exhibit periods of happiness, and one method of displaying happiness is dancing. Happiness and dancing transcend political boundaries and occur in practically every human society. Above, Matt Harding traveled through many nations on Earth, started dancing, and filmed the result. The video is perhaps a dramatic example that humans from all over planet Earth feel a common bond as part of a single species. Happiness is frequently contagious — few people are able to watch the above video without smiling.”

There’s just something amazing about the solidaridy of us as the human race, created with such uniqueness and beauty. We’re all so different and yet, if you invest the time, you just might realize that we actually have more similarities than differences. This video offers just a glimpse of what we could experience as a global, united community.  For me, this is why I’m so passionate about unifying the Bride of Christ, the global church. And the amazing part is things like art and dance transcend the verbal language barrier and speak directly to the heart. Perhaps they should add to that famous quote and say “A picture’s worth a thousand words, in any language.”
