"Our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks." --Samuel Johnson
Unexpected Joy on the Copenhagen Metro
In the quiet of the Copenhagen Metro, the clear, sweet notes of a flute panned across the train. As commuters looked on with smiles, the members of the Copenhagen Phil joined into a rendition of Morning Mood from Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt, Op. 23. As listeners drank in the beauty of the melody, perhaps they were aware that at least for this particular commute, they were bonded with the strangers on the train in their appreciation and joy. They boarded the train as many, but departed in unity as one.
BE THE CHANGE
Sometimes public commutes can be frustrating. Offering your seat to those in need or even extending a simple smile of greeting can go a long way to making someone's day easier and happier.
