  5. The #US wants to put boots on the #moon in 2030. But that's starting to look a bit unrealistic. Maybe they should try to put #nike s on the Moon instead. They'd "Just do it".

  7. Nike at Vigil

    On the median of West Cordova and Thurlow Street, amid the hurried footsteps and restless traffic of Vancouver, Nike keeps vigil.

    Bronze and nearly four metres tall, her wings stretch toward the harbour sky. She arrived here as a gift from the city of Olympia, Greece, to commemorate the 2010 Winter Olympics. Thousands pass her every day. Some glance upward. Most hurry on. Yet whenever I encounter her, I find myself pausing. For Nike is much older than the city that surrounds her.

    Long before Vancouver existed, before Canada, before even Rome rose to power, people gathered beneath the bright Mediterranean sun to celebrate the Olympic Games. There, among temples and olive groves, athletes competed not for wealth or fame but for honour. The prize was simple: a crown woven from olive branches. Watching over these contests was Nike, the winged goddess of victory.

    In Greek mythology, she was the daughter of Styx, the sacred river that separated the world of the living from the world beyond. Her siblings were Kratos (Strength), Bia (Force), and Zelus (Zeal). Together they stood beside Zeus during the great struggle between the Olympian gods and the Titans. When victory was won, Nike became its living symbol.

    Artists carved her into marble. Poets celebrated her in verse. Warriors prayed for her favour. Athletes dreamed of her blessing.

    To the ancient Greeks, victory was never merely about winning. It was about excellence of character, discipline of mind, and courage in the face of uncertainty. Nike represented the moment when effort and destiny met.

    Yet even in the ancient world, people understood that victory was fleeting. The olive crown withered. The cheering crowd dispersed. The champion eventually grew old. What remained was the journey itself. The years of preparation, the sacrifices, and the determination to continue despite setbacks and disappointments.

    That understanding feels surprisingly modern. Most of us will never stand atop an Olympic podium. Yet every life contains its own contests. We struggle through illness and uncertainty. We begin again after failure. We care for aging parents. We rebuild after loss. We pursue creative dreams that may never bring recognition. We learn new skills long after others believe our learning years are finished. In these quieter arenas, Nike still walks beside us.

    Aeschylus described Nike as one of the steadfast companions of Zeus. I like that image. Not a goddess who appears only at the finish line, but one who accompanies us through the long and often difficult road that leads there. Perhaps that is why another story about Nike has endured for more than two thousand years.

    The travel writer Pausanias tells us that the Athenians created a wingless statue of Nike. They feared that if she possessed wings, she might fly away from their city. It is a charming idea. Human beings have always worried that success, happiness, or good fortune might prove temporary. We want to hold on to the moments that matter. We want victory to stay.

    Yet life teaches otherwise. Nothing remains unchanged. Children grow up. Parents grow old. Seasons pass. Even our greatest triumphs become memories. Perhaps wisdom lies not in trying to keep Nike from flying away, but in recognizing that she returns again and again in different forms throughout our lives. The courage to begin. The strength to continue. The grace to persevere. The willingness to rise after falling. These, too, are victories.

    When I stand beneath Nike on Cordova Street, I no longer think only of ancient Greece or the Olympic Games. I think about the people moving through the city around her. People hurrying home from work. The tourist exploring unfamiliar streets. The parent carrying groceries. The elder walking slowly but determinedly forward.

    Each is engaged in struggles invisible to everyone else. Each is striving toward something. And above them all, the ancient goddess keeps vigil. Not promising that we will always win. Not offering crowns of olive leaves. Simply reminding us that there is dignity in the striving itself.

    Three thousand years after poets first sang her praises, Nike still carries the same message: Victory is not found in never falling. Victory is found in rising again.
