Tonight, I went with Megan and Carol to see, and dance to, some Latin music in front of the Brooklyn Central Library. I hadn't planned to go (it's been a long week of teaching since Summer C started!), but it was a beautiful evening and the humidity from the last few days finally went away. The air was crisp and a little cool and the sky was totally clear. It seemed like I couldn't waste this nice evening by just going home and watching Netflix.
So the three of us went to the library and danced a little.
And I realized that every city should be like Brooklyn. Where else can you see such a mix of races and social classes mixing with an equal amount of joy and abandon?
OK, OK, the people of Brooklyn don't always mix too easily, and there are definitely still a LOT of problems in this borough. But on nights like this, it's pretty easy to convince yourself that everything's gonna be just fine.
On the way home, I walked through the park and looked at fireflies.
