Exuberance is the word that came to mind as I watched, listened, and danced to the gospel choir and band on the steps of the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Brooklyn on Sunday. They shared their joy with the runners of the New York City Marathon and crowds lining the nearby sidewalk. I wasn’t standing in that spot when the elite runners passed by in a flash, their lithe bodies barely touching the ground. I wonder though whether they would have noticed the choir and their music.
