Entering a town square in Reykjavik, you come upon a mass gathering of small schoolchildren. They wear yellow safety vests with their school name emblazoned across the back like little hockey players.
A police escort leads them into the square where they arrange into a pattern of lines and a circle. A woman remarks in Icelandic, then English when you express confusion, “We need a helicopter to see from above! They make a peace symbol.”
Two women playing accordions begin a jaunty tune and a sing along breaks out. The children chant in Icelandic, “We choose to have peace! We choose to have peace!”
You choose to call this awesome.
