I'm reposting some of my old blog material,
mostly to get it all in one place again.
This was originally posted on My Space on Aug 9, 2008.
When I got home from the gym today i sat down and turned on the TV to see what was going on with the Olympics. Double skulling (rowing) was on and the camera shot was in tight on the leader. The two men were focused, rowing in perfect unison and cutting effortlessly through the water. Watching the water zip past their boat as it moved along gave the impression they were practically flying along the smooth surface of the water.
Then the camera panned out so that the second place team might be included in the shot. In the background a dozen or more children were leisurely riding bicycles along the opposite bank and were having no trouble at all keeping pace with the leaders as they 'zipped' through the water.
Yet another reminder that speed is relative. As are wealth, beauty and all the other things we measure in this life. lol
