So I have been finding great pleasure discovering or re-discovering "ghetto dance and art", better known as breakdancing (b-boying) and graffiti...it somehow speaks to a very deep place within me..it's the place that is sick of class distinction, colors and shapes, smells and stares....don't we all want to somehow feel part of something bigger then ourselves? Yes, even as a Christian I long to feel part of my world. I go to b-boy/b-girl battles, smile and pulse over the art before me...kids spinning on their heads, jumping
and flashing their bold moves. They are strong, empowered by their identity within a crew, they are embraced by the crowd.
It feels like a tribe is formed and all are invited. I want this to be the description of church...c'mon, it's possible.
