I just watched the Olympic opening ceremony from the comfort of my couch, with an L.E Modesitt, Jr. book in my hands.
Images. Feelings. Emotions.
Shane Koyczan and his feeling of “We are more”.
Colors, seasons.
Pride.
Sorrow for the fallen.
Glitches, overcome.
United. Together. As one.
Music, words, laughter.
On days like this, I embrace the Canadian in me.
I am glad, and proud, to be here.
But
Prouder was I still,
When the lone player from the sun-streaked land from where my mother and father hail
Lifted up his flag. My flag. And walked proud.
My lone hero. My 200 heroes.
May you have an amazing day.
