A conversation with the real me.
What do you love to do? I didn't know what to say. I did not have "the" answer.
What do you love to do? I liked running and swimming and biking. I liked being in shape.
You did not answer the question. I can't sing on key, er often, but I love music. I see beauty every day in everything. How does that answer the question? It doesn't, I guess.
I like watching basketball, volleyball,soccer and especially hockey, and football too both CFL and NFL.
That is your answer, you play all those sports? Well? No I didn't play hockey well, I can't skate, but I was great at shinny or ball hockey. I never played football except flag football. I played soccer well and coached alot of volleyball trying to give kids a chance to discover what if they are passionate about volleyball. I never got a chance to learn much about basketball - NBA Basketball( Booo strike) I was too short, too slow, you can't get any points if you are not allowed to touch the ball; let alone, shoot the ball. The one playoff I remember from Grade 7 that I actually got to play, as one, no two of the starters got hurt and we only had a team of 8 and the other sub, fouled out.
I was able to go in and play and I scored the tying points 13 - 13 and it went to overtime. I guess we won and then we won again, but then we lost, I did not get to play again, or if I did it didn't matter at that point, I scored a foul shot that tied the game, I also scored a 3 pointer. I did not love the grade 7 basketball experience, others played it much better. I am talking grade 7 in a small BC elementary school, c'mon, there were athletes but no basketball players. Track and field yes (but not for me) although I did look at javelin once! Thanks Teresa!
Okay, Okay, what do you love 25 words or less. I love language, the use of language, how it can, make others feel, make me feel. The sounds the meaning all words accepted. Spoken or Read. Rhythms. Love.
Why? Any language can do it you do not have to be a super star basketball player to be able to write or read or recite or be poetic with or without rhyme.
Back to beauty? I love to write about beauty, things I have seen or imagined.
That is it then? No but you said 25 words or less.
That was to get you to focus.... you really needed to focus.
You were dancing around the topic and I have seen you ....dance, you can't dance stick
to what you love. Writing,WRITING, WRITE!!
Yes sir I will.
So I ask you - What do you love?
