It rises in the blue sky
High above the market tents
Caught in a playful wind,
Grinning a toothless smile,
It dances,
Floats
Climbs
Twirls
Bounces
Runs
Flies away like a wish.
Transcending its purpose
A white plastic bag lives
The dream of a red balloon.

Yes! That’s it exactly. A beautiful solo number.

A person (or in this case, a thing) that can dance by itself is the envy of the universe! It is, after all, the most powerful thing in the universe

Merci. Le vent s’est leve soudainement quand le marche fermait, et tout d’un coup j’ai vu ce petit sac qui flottait si haut, plus haut que les toits….Et il m’a fait penser au ballon rouge.
Comme moi, tu devrais dormir maintenant. 🙂 Bonne nuit.

I went to the link – envirodiscovery – and bookmarked it. Then I noticed that it’s been idle since last October. Do you know any more about it?
