Just some thoughts & feelings watching the Tokyo Olympics these past few days. The time & energy each athlete spends preparing for their event(s) remind me of the solitary preparation a musician must go through, tens or even hundreds/thousands of hours. All this to bring the listener a musical performance, in any genre, is simply amazing & worthy of respect, even when we may not favor a certain style. In the case of our athlete Jasmine Camacho-Quinn in the 100-meter hurdles Olympic record-setting, Gold medal-winning event in Tokyo, a mere 12.26-second run took her years of preparation & commitment to accomplish, even after her previous attempt in the 2016 Olympics. May all creative endeavors be honored & seen as sacred.
