day 209...
...i am not sure if you heard but the olympics began today (well technically yesterday) in london...
...if you need a recap here is the link...LONDON 2012...
...there were parts that were super cool; this is not the reason why i am writing to tell you & describe to you a ceremony most of you saw or will see via the internet...i am writing b/c i was thinking about all the nations (several of which i have never heard of) that come together for this event to show up to compete to be the best in the world...they come to represent their country...& yes, there is friendly competition...but is there any hate here? each person represents their country and wants to take home a medal and an honor to make their fellow countrymen proud...
...my point is i do not think there is talk about wars, weapons, & whose land is whose...they leave all of it behind & show up to represent, they wear their country's color with pride & put forth their best efforts...maybe the olympics is the one place where peace can exist...and even though it is only 16 days; it exists, and the only thing one wants to be remembered for is how they performed for their country...how they shined wearing the country's colors...how when they return back home, they will be looked upon with admiration...how for those moments they were part of togetherness & peace...
