    Hi There, I only made it up to number 12 and I just need some time to reflect and soak those all in. The birthday bus made me cry also. And so much for singing in the rain... I love the dancing in the rain. Much love and light to you. Thank You

    An absolutely cool list! Those b-boys were poetry in motion and the birthday bus video was perfect.

    falling upon a list as inspiring as this makes it really difficult to follow through with my new decision to not spend as much time surfin around... anna halprin came to bern recently and i experienced her and was deeply moved by her and the film. such a light. the b-boys have reminded me of the essence of dance and the travelling through color makes me want to bring it here. thanks so much.

    You, my dear, are the Queen of All List Makers. Why, this one is a poem. A poem whose links made me cry, actually.

    Thank you.
