== "Say Yes To The Spirit Of Olympia"Italic text ==
Once every 4 years, man from all corners of Mother Earth, irrespective of race, colour, creed or station, lays down his heavy load and with joy unimaginable, celebrates the Spirit of the Olympics. (Text in red/blue are links. Hoover your mouse over links to read brief comments; click to go the linked site)
The celebration gives new meaning and dimensions to the brotherhood of man, understanding and goodwill. The celebration is the rebirth of mankind, not only in spirit but also in mind and body. The celebration lays the foundations for optimism, new hopes for mankind and a new faith in Man.
Even before the celebration could begin, dark clouds were threatening to cast long sinister shadows - confusion, dissent and pessimism - rejecting the moral, ethical and humantarian hopes of The Olympic Truce.
But as we now know, on 24 March 2008, even the Gods of Ancient smiled on Olympia and parted the dark menacing clouds above the Temple of Hera. "The flame was lit successfully by a Holy Priestess, according to the traditional ritual, using the sun's ray and a parabolic mirror."
And the men, women and children, touched by the Flame of Olympia - courageous, noble and inspired - will travel to the far corners of the world. The torch bearers, holding the Flame up high, will in turn touch and warm the hearts of the many, and ignite our imaginations and spirits.
Let us all celebrate the Spirit of Olympia. Italic text The opportunity is here to bring the world closer together - in harmony, friendship and goodwill - and to lift the Spirit of Man.
Let us use the technological tools we possess - the world wide web, cell phones and SMS - to extend the Magic and Spirit of Olympia, to reach out and touch every living soul. Let us encourage all to become part of this great celebration - to be embraced and become a living and dynamic part of the Spirit of Olympia.
