Polina Edmunds

In sailing ship days, glass prisms were set in the decks of ships to conduct light to the holds below. So are some people like deck prisms, whose radiance finds a source of light elsewhere, which is shared with others in our world as though it was the hold of a ship that would otherwise be in darkness.

Polina Edmunds has become very much like that sort of person. In teaching youngsters skating skills, performing at charitable events, in her "Iron Butterfly" analyses and interviews, and in her commentaries at figure skating events, she illuminates the sport and the people involved in it. As well, in the way her personal life is developing, with her marriage and how she cares for her family and friends and neighbors, this light is better revealed for what it is, the light of love, which finds but one source.

Thus, what was such a delight and opened so many hearts when, as a young woman, she became a most unusual figure skating champion, has only deepened as she has grown more fully into her womanhood.


On this day in particular, her birthday, I offer my own thanks and gratitude that such a one as herself dwells among us.
