My Take On it: What do Olympic and Xtreme Athletes Give Us?

Olympic and Xtreme athletes give humanity a vision of what is possible. Few people attempt to do what they really believe is impossible. In extremis, we all need to know just how far the human body and mind can go. In survival situations, the person who believes that they might make it is the only one who can make it. The mind must first believe that the feat is possible and that is where these guys make their contibution to the global good of humanity. They inspire and they push the boundaries of human possibilities. I am grateful to them and think that this is something no one is really acknowledging. They are more than entertaining us, they are teaching, inspiring and expanding the possibilites for all of us. Just take a look at what I mean.....

The Wounded Angel

I wonder what story was in the artist's mind? The Wounded Angel (Finnish: Haavoittunut enkeli) (1903) is a painting by Finnish symbolist painter Hugo Simberg. It is one of the most recognizable of Simberg's works, and was voted Finland's "national painting" in a vote held by the Ateneum art museum in 2006.


I love the look on the boys' faces and the way the painting suggests stories in one's own mind to fill in the questions.
