4. Development 10. Refresh
5. Sculpture 11. Platform
6. Transform 12. Ply
The platform was 25 feet above the water, just the height necessary for her to transform her body into the faultless, perpetual sculpture that was Olympic diving. It had been her privilege to dive for team USA in two Olympics. Her development not happening literally overnight but a refreshing escapade for her coaches that rejuvenated their faith in the sport and the "natural" athlete. The anticipation was great of course, standing on the platform. If she met her quota there would be theatrics and a wonderful celebration that night. Friends and family trying to ply her with foods she couldn't eat for fear or her art's deceleration. She would leap. She would twirl. She would spin and roll and then crash magnificently into the water like a sea creature herself.
Well that went in a new direction! I don't know much about diving but that was fun. I hope y'all enjoy and get to do some Words for Wednesday yourselves.
In other news, I'll have a post tomorrow about moving and the Utah thing. I think I might've left some stuff out over the last couple slow years on ye olde blog! Thank you for understanding.
Be well and Happy Wednesday :o)
I love the direction Lee's prompts took you on.
