2010 Vancouver Olympics Torch Relay
On this frigid Friday morning, many people braved the cold to get a glimpse of the Olympic torch as it made its way through Toronto.
I had the good fortune to have realized that the torch was actually going to pass right by where I live.
I was able to get the following short video clip from my balcony.
Even from that distance, there was something spectacular about the passing of the flame and the magical essence of the human spirit as expressed through sport.
It took me back 21 years ago to when I was a small child in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, watching that same fire burn as it was passed from torch bearer to torch bearer for the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics.
Yours in the Olympic Spirit.
