  • I wish I could convey the profound effect of the opening ceremonies in Beijing.  I wish you, dear reader, could cry as I did with the mere mention of the power and unity of thousands.  Is this the force that brought down Babel?  I am still the very same me that gets particularly fidgety when I stray to far from earth in Google maps, the same confessed pant-peer to encounter a blue whale in open ocean.  My discomfort borders on fear of things too magnanimous.  Even the open sky sends a shock wave through my spine.

    The dedicated thousands sent my design sense into frenzied spasms.  The harmonious colors, the graceful movements contrasted by hard and vibrant light, the many exalting the one- could this be heaven?Imagine us together bending light and space, the yin to the yang of Christ, the broken to the perfect.  A true preview into forever by a nation of Communists... now that is revelation.
