dribbled in the shadows of hells gate, in the b-ball slash handboard court. drank in sweat and triboro-con-ed-astoria, air. jump shot. blocked.
played with the low-timers, the ones that stood in the crevices like me. hidden in the shadows. afraid to be seen. afraid to see what the audience would say about the failure.
faiil. try. if you fail, then go deeper. i struggle with parvottonasana. fold and then curve my back so my head could scrape the ground. took the easy route to ostentate expertise. when my head comes up, i know. i know that i went back to that place under the bridge. image. a photo. reinforced it.
to ball means to play. to play means to flirtatiously take chances, get dirty, hurt, fall, get up, laugh at yourself, laugh at others, sweat...
sweat the technique the Essence has set forth. therre is methodology to the Way of the ball. the way is written in ancient dao texts that channel seasons, the space, the nothingness behind it.
the technique of growth, of super-human, of going beyond this model of limited-ego-babylon-self, is to breathe deep, and witness, and do from here, and embrace each perceived problem with open arms, as opportunities to get Higher.
can You take me Higher?
getting High. floating from this recent financial mess, from making a mistake, from trying. the meditation is in the doing. in Being an expression of the Values...what are your values? how are you living being them?
unconditional Love from a place of nothing and everything, from ancient endless no end in sight. from this is just a moment that will pass, as all moments have. so play, so get deeper, go harder in the suppleness of the Lover. this is an opp, so give thanks for this challenge and take the blessings...
ball, go above the rim. keep jumping till kareem, magic, jordan, lebron. tilll above the rim: malcolm, che, gandhi, king, vandana shiva, harriet tubman, nawal saadwi, rumi, the prophet muhammad...
balll...go hard..leap, note the technique...replicate...fine tune...do the math...
alhamdulillah...the math is to try, and see what happens. forget making a decision, even if this means money lost or not. do from a place of faith. cut the strings of attachments to jealousy, and the desire tocontrol what is clearly uncontainable.
let go of complacency to the familiar, to what keeps us with the low-timers. you're a big-timer King/Queen. jump...i see You...
