COOL DOWN
SWEET CAROLINE by
· OYO stretches (and singing)
The Skinny:
COT: It goes without saying that today is a very somber holiday. In light of that, let’s take a brief moment of silence to honor and thank our service members……………… So, today is Memorial Day, and we are still in the midst of a global crisis, so it might feel uncouth to be out here today, enjoying each other’s company. However, think of any movie where the characters are facing an overwhelming danger. The parts of the movie where they are able to have a bit of fun, laugh, and smile are the parts where they remember how to be human, regain morale, and celebrate life.
· We may not be in immediate danger like the people in these movies, or like millions of real people, soldiers included, in the world, but we have been facing a very real trauma around us all the time, every day. We cannot and should not undervalue the power of creativity, expression, and happiness. By exercising these forms of human soul-healing, we are boosting our own morale and celebrating life. We are fortunate enough to be here, in a place where we are able to do these things rather safely, because of the dedication of those who came before us. The reason anyone makes a sacrifice is in the hope of making the world a better place for the people they are leaving behind.
· So today we are honoring these people by expressing our humanness. By being creative and having fun. When we actively put more positivity out into the world, we are helping to build the better world those who sacrificed had in mind.
