One evening in Edinburgh, Scotland, we attended the 'Military Tattoo' (not pronounced like inked drawings on skin, but with the emphasis on the other syllable 'ta-TOO'). It was held on the grounds of the Edinburgh Castle with stadium-style seating from 8,000 total on both sides of the large open area. The sold-out-event is held each evening in the month of August, with two performances on Saturdays.

For two hours, bagpipe bands, a drum line, horses, dancers, singers, a military choreographed weapons drill among other things took the 'stage' one-by-one from both ends and sides of the area. Non-stop. There were maybe ten countries represented (i.e. Mexico, France, Oman, United States, England, home country of Scotland).

Beautiful production and performance. The finale included all of the groups coming into the arena one-by-one until all of them were assembled; playing and dancing together. All 1200 of them!

What struck me the most were the dancers in particular. Were they as 'good' as when they did their native dances? Maybe not. But their were tartan clad dancers twirling with colorful full skirted gals from a different country.

Wouldn't be great if all of our countries and all of our peoples could all 'dance' together in one accord?

It might not be impossible. It only has to start with one production. One person. Just as well be me. Could be you!

The Bible says, "Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position (or maybe higher position?). Do not be conceited." - Romans 12:16. 

Dictionary definition of harmony: 'living in peace and friendship'.

I saw it. What an opportunity to do it! Then and us!!
