The Mountain Moved Today

The only thing that can make sitting in the details and conclusion that I do tonight, being able to call this, in fact, maybe, one of the best days of my life, and allowing the sacrifice of one's own life, perhaps, to be the most powerful reckoning and chess move made, both, because there is no way of replacing it, worth any amount of human experience is knowing that all the life force I have sent over to the Peninula, through Korean(/-American) bloodstreams and systems, and others who could make it known, is knowing that the phone got turned back on today, and those handshakes may have been full of wrath, hatred, Love, and Knowing, all at the same time, but the truth is that it happened--and over the celebration of Sport and national pride, in this case which is still shared. For the first time tonite, I say with my whole being, about a nation of people not The United States, that I'm moved to tears when I think of you, of the decades of pain and wrongdoing endured by our people, and I am you, and you can never be other than my clay...and in spite of, and because of that, I am finished with bliss in an existential way, and proud of a country not called "The U.S.A." for leading the world in what must be done, and a central part of that is Peace beyond infinite hurt or harm. This Asian athlete who went first, in so many ways, is breathing deeply into the stars over a Healing Korea tonight. I love you. Nothing here means anything compared to who you are to those you have created as the expression of our ancient soul. There is no country for either side that is more perfect than the other.
