I have to hand it to Goofy Dance Man.

Sure, maybe he was tripping out on something but Goofy Dance’s flail-joy just goes to show how infectious pure enthusiasm can be.

The first few dancers to join him were surely making fun of him, but did that stop him? Decrease his enthusiasm? Diminish his super dance powers?

No, they only increased his audience and his happy flailing. Soon, the pure fun of it caught on like brush fire and people came running with abandon.

There is a lesson to learn here. Sometimes you gotta be the Goofy Dance Man.

Don’t miss the close up cameraman. He and his buddy get swamped by the crowd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGXN-9caULA&feature=related

And there is more…

7.0 Quake Near Port Au Prince

This image compels me for two reasons.

1. There is nothing so normal as a still ground beneath us. But there are fault lines all over the place in this image! It amazes me how unstable the very ground we walk on can be.

2. The sadness of the Haitian quakes was lessened a little bit for me since the people I know in Haiti were not too directly affected. However, this map shows a fault line very close to the Montrouis region. The region that Mission Manna visits twice a year. (It’s the L shaped line just SW of the word “Haiti” on the map.)

These are more reminders that we are not in control, and we need to make the best of what we have.

We must continue to Consider Haiti.
