J.H.C.! Please, let me take another swan dive. I'm sorry for the slight, almost negligible reference to the clip,
even if it summarizes my overall perspective. I'll admit it, I didn't watch the clip. I could have, but I took it for granted.
I've been watching "Chinese" acrobats going back to the early Ed Sullivan Show, Johnny Carson, etc.
It's taken something like the Cirque de Soleil from Quebec to come onto the world stage with similar gymnastic performances.
The last thing I saw that surprised me is the cup stacking thing.

The new movie Black Swan is so nice to think about, Natalie Portman being someone interesting to think about,
in terms of being a ballerina, and with-in the context of the movie, beginning ballet in her youth.
But it is a modernization compared to any traditional swan theme,
modern technology creating and enabling activities never before known in our human history.

Now if someone added that the lead ballerina stood up front onstage,
spreading her arms out like wings towards the heavens,
her fingers reaching out, trembling a little,
with the two male principals approaching on each side,
and using only her outstretched middle fingers,
lift her and move her around the stage as she does side arm body lifts,
like gymnasts do on the rings,
looking like she's flapping her wings,
then I'll look at the clip.

I'm just going to look out the window at all the softly falling snow,
and think about the time I rescued some expensive swan art from Lake Erie near Point Abino.
That was me getting into my own big swan lake.
