You can see it

A friend and I were playing capoeira in the park last night. His friend so happens to be returning home and spots us. We greet each other, then he takes a seat for a moment to see what we are doing.

We continued jogando and play we did. It was a controlled game, but one so very free. After thirty minutes or so we took a break. My friend asks his friend what he thinks of capoeira. "It's good. I can see it."

Coming from a person only viewing capoeira for their first time, the words "I can see it" are one of the highest compliments you can pay angoleiros. We display art even to the untrained eye. We are craftsmen and women playing with shape and form. We view the world different, or rather just express it different, and yes, you can see it.
