I love a good Flash Mob, especially ones that use the power of music to surprise, delight, and bring complete strangers together to be reminded of the love that underpins and fuels the universe.
The unexpected impact of these videos today went deep in me. The beauty and joy of each one rushed over me like a warm wave and I felt tears on my face.
<I haven't cried in years, Jena, it's a big deal...>
So truly, gratitude for sharing these. I was able to get my shoulders out of my ears for a little while. I shared your piece with people who matter. ❣️
Thank you for these goosebump moments this morning! Each of the performances you shared carries its own magic, and I found myself deeply moved and in awe by the joy and connection they radiate.
The sheer power of Rafael Rojas's voice soaring through a shopping mall, the reverence of the Soweto Gospel Choir honoring Mandela's legacy, and the breathtaking unity of "Ode to Joy" unfolding in Sabadell—it all was a celebration of our shared humanity.
These moments remind me how art and music transcend barriers, weaving love and hope into the fabric of our lives.
Your reflections on creativity and its universality moved me. It’s empowering to think of creativity not as an exclusive gift, but as an innate and vital part of all of us. Your words encourage me to tune in, to listen for that music within, and to trust its place in our collective story.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful reminder, and for bringing a little more love and light into the world today.
Thank YOU for reading, listening, and sharing your own creativity. I have to believe that the love and light and joy and hope that fuel it will become our reality again. I am especially moved when I see it in kids because they are still open and willing to risk - to share themselves. Your words also give me hope that the little piece of wonder I bring to the world can make a difference. Together we shine :-)
Jena, thank you for your beautiful response and for the light you bring through your work. Your belief in love, light, joy, and hope resonates so with me. Together, those little pieces of wonder we each bring have the power to create something much bigger. It’s an honor to be part of that shared effort. Together, we do shine. 😊
You are most welcome. I really do believe in a larger truth that is fueled by love. I’m not saying to deny what it going on, but we must hold onto and continue to share the light of who we are. You do it EVERY day in your writing. Please keep going. (((Glloria))).
I had seen The Ode To Joy flashmob before, but what joy to see it again. Goosebumps! Thank you, Jena!
Thank you Jena. 🥲

Thank you so much Karen. Just knowing it touched you means a lot to me.
Jena, your writing is heartsong.
The amazing flash mob playing the classic song Ode to Joy that was all started by one little girl… I have happy tears rolling down my cheeks.
Thank you. Thank you for the joy today.
