Spectators


One thing we often forget about entertainers is that they are just as entertained by us as we are them. Instead of us watching them, they become spectators. These very talented Honduran dancers were watching all the other evening entertainment from across the courtyard before it was their turn to perform.

In many respects we do the same thing every day. As spectators, we look at other people and wonder what kind of "dance" they did to get to where they are. We may look at their family, their position in business or the community, their house, their car, and in general all their stuff. We forget that regardless of who they are, or where they are in life, they are still people just like us. Perhaps, they are looking at us and wondering how they can get to where we are. Maybe our role models are not the models we expected them to be, but then what kind of role model are we?
