JUGGLING and JOINING

Farm Market Union Square
N.Y.C.

Saturday Sundown

 Luther Bangert

 Again and again...

 he tosses and twirls, juggles...

then throws them...

 higher and higher.

 Admiration and Derision from a group of kids watching: They're goofing a bit , alternating with honest awe...acting-out the way boys are conflicted about being real men, and so unsure of themselves, I found it touching. The Juggler, so accomplished, and he wears ballet slippers without a thought while the boys, pointing', snicker nervously. They are at that vulnerable age, teetering on the brink of adulthood, trying to get along, find a tribe, a gang, a crew, something to hold on to when one doesn't know what lies ahead.

 Meanwhile the Juggler,  an accomplished performer...

 performs and he is a simply lovely man!
