Watching the Olympics 2014

2/20/2014

I guess I have been distracted for the past week or so by the 2014 Olympics on NBC. I don't usually watch much television, but this has allowed me and my husband to connect and watch some really fabulous athletes risk all.

My favorite sports are the iceskating events and the snowboarding and skiing jumps.  I like the grace and musicality as well as athleticism. The races are fun but they seem so much less a matter of will and desire.

I read about Pussy Riot at the Olympics--it seemed like a publicity stunt. It was awful to have them told go away in such a matter, but they did know what to expect. I checked out their music--cranking but sort of raunchy sounding--I couldn't understand the Russian.

I guess the older I get the less likely I will be a rebel beating my head against a wall. Sometimes positive efforts to show desire, hope, goodwill etc. seem much less destructive.No one will forget Adelina Sotnikova, for instance, what beauty.
