2008 OLYMPICS



I was literally in tears watching the rhythmic gymnastics. The Circe Du Soleil http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/cirquedusoleil/default.htm may offer a place for these beautiful performances and the truly incredible skills required to accomplish them. I wonder if any of these gymnasts will be a part of that venue in the future. I am amazed at the combination of ballet, gymnastics, and juggling that is the rhythmic gymnastics performance. The costumes are absolutely stunning, too.
On a personal note, I think I was so touched because these performances epitomize in a lovely way what women are or try to be; graceful creatures trying to stretch to meet all challenges and juggle the basics along with our dreams.
