Because I did watch that, too, just didn't have time to comment before.

I also didn't cry, but that's only because I was eating breakfast at the time, and then I had to go to work and not be a mess. If I'd watched it, say, Friday night, when I often indulge in things that make me emotional (e.g. Call the Midwife; hardly a single episode that isn't a tear-jerker), you can well believe there would have been waterworks.

I think the piece was very well performed. I am a fan of spoken-word art. Using language to its utmost potential to evoke important ideas in a beautiful way... yes, please. It goes to show that words do have power, a subtle reinforcement to the message of the piece. And this message is one that I think a lot of people need to hear and internalize.

You—every one of you—have beauty and goodness inside you. You have power. Your voice has power. Use it to share love.

Yaaaay, I was worried I'd gotten in too late and the thing was over! Delighted to be wrong. ^_^

I'm sorry I didn't watch the video, but I don't like to cry.
Here is something else really cool. I love gingerbread and cuneiform is really fascinating.
