Riverfire in Brisbane last Saturday night was pretty spectacular (as usual!) – it's always totally worth the annual pilgrimage to the river.
This time, however, things felt a little different. It struck me as an odd novelty that, masks and all, we were all happily facing the same direction, cheering in the same moments, as friendly strangers.
This year the story wasn't in the sky overhead, it was in the neighbours that rarely come together though always share lives. It was in the bridge that danced for us, linking the before to the after and hinting at a finish line that is worth marching towards.
And one thing is for certain... you know it's special when we salute with our phones :)
