“Costuming serves different, even opposite, functions for different people. For most, the wearing of team colors allows a fan to blend in with a mass of other similarly clad fans; it would be unwise to flout the color coding by inadvertently wearing the opponent's colors while sitting in a section of the bleachers occupied by home team fans. But for others, costuming - and in some cases, uncostuming, as with the Yalies who run naked through the stadium at the annual Harvard-Yale game - is a valid, some might say exhibitionist, bid for attention.”

When all else fails, sing an anthem to the trees, the ground,
the distant view.”

“We didn't dance together. We danced our own dance, our own space. But we felt the connection. We were three people in communion with the music. The music sang and we sang back, loudly, with our bodies.
For a moment, all the superficiality of the world; all its banal cruelty, wokeness, and mundane distractions—everything faded. Our souls reverberated with the purity of music, the release of dance, and the separate yet united communion of disparate people in that single experience.”

“In an instant, I suddenly knew it was all true. He was real, and in Him was the life I’d been longing for, one of purpose, meaning, and hope. I could lean on Him. Whatever I might face, He would hold me through it all. He would lead me in a dance that would free me from all the weights holding me down, from all the sin eating me up. He would show me true joy, peace, and delight. He would lead me out of death and into life.”
