Paralympic Games - Most profound Gestures possible

From the Paralympic Games - the most profound gestures possible.

Following on from my last Post about what gestures we may experience from the Paralympic and Olympic Games I saw embodied in one man who was mute and deaf the most natural, energetic and totally awe inspiring portrayal of the six gestures I described in the last Post that most widely present themselves.

I had the privilege to engage in dialogue with this young man in part with the aid of another to learn how he was actively lobbying politicians in Africa and America to consider more strongly the needs of those who were disabled.

In dialogue with me he presented all six gestures EQUALLY. This formed the strength of the way he engaged. He never once strayed into adopt a "one-sided" way to make a point. He ranged across all gestures to an equal degree which left me experiencing truth from pure art.

I have rarely experienced this to this degree. The ethos and values of the Paralympic Games clearly supported this man being able to be this way. Long may this effect continue.
