The Olympics: A Parade of Life

Perhaps in no other way is Life Force so visible to us than in sports, especially the Olympics. When we’re watching or participating in a sporting event of a local nature, we have a narrower view of Life Force flowing through individuals within a certain team, or event, or sport in places familiar to us.

When it comes to the Olympics, however, we see the spectacle of the diversity of the world and Life Force, Source Energy, Itself, in it’s myriad splendor in events, in individuals, across nations and encompassing – The World.

As these individuals “compete”, we thrill to their achievements whether they are “our” team or not. Somehow the Olympics makes us fans of Life, and we can cheer, root for, and appreciate every single one of them as our own, which they are.

So far in these Games, one of us has chosen these games to pass on and take the consciousness leap back into Well Being, this was Nodar Kumaritashvili, a Georgian luge slider who was 21 years old. On Sunday, Joannie Rochette, a Canadian, learned that her mother, who had traveled to the Olympics to watch her daughter compete, had died. Joannie will compete today with her Mom fully present for her daughter, only in nonphysical not physical.

Life Is. It is this eternal and continuous flow from the nonphysical into physical and then back into nonphysical. The distance between the two is closer than breath, nearer than our feet. It delights in play, and variety, and focused joy. It is the same Life that enlivens each of us no matter what flag, no matter what sport, no matter what language, no matter what religion, no matter the skills or talents. Indeed, no matter a physical body or not. It Is.
