That Opening-Ceremony: Winter's Thermal

A Story by Abishai100
"

Man narrates his year-'26 Olympics-knit of photos/images for knowing and wondering about competition's multi-national midways-jellybeans (for quickening).

"I knew I wanted to catch something special about the photo-synthesis of magic when the Winter Games approached on Earth and drew in my spirit that special TV-modernism fanfare for things of Western world (American Homeland) watch of athletics, nations, crowds, ornaments, organization, and world thought (yes). I knew growing up watching the festivity of humanity that had been capsulated in the grand/symbolic Opening-Ceremony of the Olympics that the parade of athletes from so many countries of the Blue-Planet had become photo-memoirs of all things Earthling biceps."



"After the Opening-Ceremony concludes, on a special eve-hour time of TV-watch in the American Homeland, regardless of the hosting-location, the athletes prep for the very-next day of bright/early competition for garnering those medals for their respective nations-of-background (yes). That Opening-Ceremony made me think of all things Earthling-shadows (for doubt). The Winter Games is a vanity, sure, and it invokes superstitions of competition's midways-intelligence of coordinated consensual regulated overseen prepped body-mind simple excellence (for wins/participants). That Opening-Ceremony made me think of the ghost-magic of the invented camera-toy, and why freeze-frame moments in time caught the consciousness of sport's special know-nothing (for jellyfish)."



WAITRESS: Belgian waffles for the gent.
ME: Thanx, lady (ok).
WAITRESS: Photos, eh?
ME: My mosaic-spread of Opening-Ceremony (Olympics) imagery, ok.
WAITRESS: Making a project, eh?
ME: Ahead of tonight's Opening Ceremony (on TV).
WAITRESS: Waffles should prep your invention of beauty, pal.
ME: Facebook-like (for jellybeans).



"I decided my very-special Opening-Ceremony photo-synthesis 'things' album for year-'26 would be something quite human, honest, honorable, humorous, hindsight, and maybe even huge (for doubt). I'd combine images of the everyday with images of Earthling-care and life's poise/pose of fanfare and investment and body-awareness and even Selfie-knot (for Heaven/Hell). I decided my Winter Games ceremonies-imagery 'catch' would resurrect all the spirits and ghosts of things of past medicine for jitters (ok)."
