I recently stumbled across this, and will present as it is itself, with few words. A movie of 100 people of ages 1 to 100 hitting a drum.

I think I’m on my 7th time through this now, and am still fascinated. Who is smiling and who is not? Who has courage? Who has joy? Who is my favorite (15 and 91 are in a tie right now. but I also adore 89. and 45.)? How very much you can pick up about people from just a 2 second film, and how much richer a film it is with the beating of the drum rather than just a statement of age. There seems to be a piece of essential wisdom that possibly will be granted to me if I just watch one more time. Or maybe it is as simple as being fully present and happy where you are whatever age you are. Then the violin starts singing.
I love it!
Did you see that this has popped up as “featured” on yahoo news today? Good work.
