On Saturday, the Special Olympics Hawaii 55th Annual State Summer Games kicked off. Sunday was the Christian celebration of Pentecost. The idea on Sunday was that a few people were challenged to open their hearts and stand as one voice.
In our world of radical diversity, the Special Olympics gathers people of all faiths and political beliefs to stand united with one voice. The flames of love ignite hearts. Everywhere, celebration of effort is greeted with joy, patience and exuberance.
The participants, the officials, the volunteers and the families all experience a truly united moment of one heart, one mind and one body. Listen world: There is hope.
