Play Ball!!


My dad took this picture of Marko after his game last night.
Marko got the game ball (the coach gives a player the game ball when they have made some
good plays in the game.)
Anyway, hope you like the words below.
Namaste,
Michele


It's Zen-like when you're doing good.
You are the ball and the ball is you.
It can do you no harm.

A common bond forms between you and this white sphere,
a bond based on mutual trust.
The ball promises not to fly over too many walls
after you have politely served it up to enemy hitters,
and you assure it that you will not allow
those same batters to treat the ball in a harsh or violent manner.
Out of this trust comes a power
that allows the pitcher to take control
of what otherwise might be an uncontrollable situation.
