'Community Connections' was adopted as
the title for our monthly village newsletter,
embracing new connections,
I was the one to come up with the title,
the others embraced it, and so it was launched.
That was some ten years ago,
it is still going strong today.
Community was my world then but more at a local level,
today my community has expanded to global proportions,
thanks to among others the British scientist
Sir Tim Berners-Lee,
who was celebrated Friday night in the opening ceremony
of the 30th Olympic Games in London
as the inventor of the world wide web!
One of the ceremony highlights,
One of the ceremony highlights,
A metal flower petal was carried by
each country's representative and assembled in place,
as the flame ignited all of the petals they moved together
rising as one united blossom, a spectacular vision!
This reminded me of the opening and closing
of the Lotus Blossom
which is said to represent the awakening of consciousness,
which does seem fitting here as this occasion also marks the first Olympic Games to have a female representing each nation! Bravo!
