It has been a rough day, rough week, rough month. I woke up this morning simply burnt out. After difficult talks, meditation in the woods, and some more reflection I just felt the weight of my heart. So I decided to go shoot some hoops at the park near my house. Just shooting the ball felt great. After a while, three guys showed up to shoot around and we ended up playing a two-on-two game. It was great.
I think everyone should have something in their life that is good and pure. Some hobby, some interest that you love. When I shoot a basketball or play a game, that's all there is in the universe. No good. No evil. No right. No wrong. No pain. No this. No that. Just a ball and a hoop. All the world fades away and there is just me. Playing there is nothing but good competition. Not aggression, not hate, just people playing to see how far their skill can go. There is no loneliness in basketball because I have a teammate. I have no pain because the world has dissolved.
And after two games, I am free. I am liberated. Moksha in the form of a basketball. Thanks be to God.
