We are the land.
We have a relationship with the land and with Mother Earth that precedes money, goods and services, revenue and production values. We are the land.
I’m not saying anything novel or new I know this is just culture shock and a document of how out of touch I am with today’s NBA. 😂😂 Carry on
As a Warriors fan, Steph Curry was a gift from the basketball gods.

That being said it’s disappointing to see the game style he ushered in 15+ years ago hasn’t seen much evolution.

Remember where these 3-ball-or-nothing shooters got their whole style from! 😎

This is the 2nd NBA game I’ve seen (aside from highlights on YouTube) in about 6 - 8 years. Culture shock

The players can do some fancy shot attempts that are inventive and look cool while doing it. But that seems to be the main wheelhouse / every play. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Old head speaking. It appears the ‘slasher’ role (U know the forward or 2 guard whose forte was to drive the bucket) is all but obsolete.

There’s hardly any pushes towards the paint. Both teams play primarily above the free throw line and most plays don’t move beyond downtown. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

End of 3rd quarter. Lakers down by 15. No LeBron tonight for L.A.

The camera turned to LeBron and he’s in a bucket hat, flossing his teeth.

A new meaning to ‘flossing season’ (Hot Boy$) 😂😂

“surrender of the open
trusted
trees
And like the stars
above the dark far streets
between us
heat
develops into liquid
documents of fire
and there
and here
moving through these beautiful waters
you and I
become the river”

~ June Jordan, from the poem “I train my eyes to see”

“In that same beginning winter
of the rivers rising up
some of the people rose
organic
secretly
out loud
and irresistible”

Having no place in this (or any) country
I contemplate the possibility

Hazrat Inayat Khan wrote of consideration that it is a spiritual gift.

I also think it’s a way to love. To consider one’s perspective, needs, being is a way of loving somebody, of expressing love. Caring for someone is to consider that they are of value by simply being. Consideration is a virtue.

Was it Kurt Vonnegut who wrote that music is one way he knows life isn’t a mistake?

Feeling that today.

Good music is more than therapy, it’s a genuine thread to the human spirit.
