"This or that is or
is not Cricket"
|
The Great UMPIRE of
Cricket chose me, I didn't choose the Grand ole'
Game. |
|
|
As in
activist for the improvement and increased civility
of humanity beginning in Compton-Los Angeles, the
United States and
throughout the earth, Cricket
reveals itself to me as wonderful tool to the
purpose. |
While I think that the dance or
physical action-play of the Chess of Sports, it is
the seemingly divine inspired regal etiquette makes
Cricket, also considered by it's billions of fans,
the King of Sports. |
|
|
For me, putting numbers on the
score board, or in the statistical books is not the
winning aspect of this originally village game, but
rather that of the civilizing idea of Cricket. |
During a
match, particularly playing the actions within the
oval-pitch and/or field of play, I strive to be in a
state of a Zen Meditation, that at the end of the
day when i exit the field of play, my character is
improved for the life that i must now live beyond
the Game's boundary. |
|
|
Thanks to GOD the Great UMPIRE,
that HE has allowed me the physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual strength to continue to
effective play matches at my wonderful, mature age. |
That's Cricket! That's what I'm talking about.
Cricket! |
