Dude, be cool not cold
Corrosive is my desire to play today, it is not necessary or natural. I do not require the voluntary attempt to overcome unnecessary obstacles to sustain this corporeal form. It would buoy the spirit to see you lot. The desires of modernity are limitless and insatiable, many of them by design.
This dude can hold that tension the unresolved, the knowledge it isn’t needed and desire to play. Instead of madness I lean in, draw a breath and hold it, count to ten feel the heart beat while I sit still. The fact that I need little allows me to notice the simple joy of desire and knowledge arrests my anxieties about adversaries and tables.
Now is the only time we control, not the age we were born in, or the eon or place. A worth adversary we can mark, strategise, chatter and tackle but our work for each other will be the difference maker. Simple pass expect it in return, move together to support, don’t watch the master make a man miss be the outlet, the return pass, draw the marker. We are not afraid of hard work we benefit from, calm finishes, a few passes and lots of talking. They are a more settled team than seasons past but if we make them work hard they may turn on each other.
Our overlord, temporary ruler, is a calm dude, our dude, learned in the ways of the pitch the dark arts, fair tackles but he only has two eyes and needs our integrity. So talk to each other, make an appeal, a hand up, one shout, but don’t dwell argue or give him an ounce of grief. He puts up with us and drinks his beer cold just like most of us.
Alas the hurt, ill, and infirm require my aid and you all pay me to struggle against entropy so I will not be at our fine contest. Our will holds our spirits in check, our effort and struggle will make us deserving of a fine beverage and strong laughs. Be present and let the effort, the struggle the contest sustain the desire.
Te Wero (The Challenge)
Be Cool (Not Cold)
“Easy”, call out “Time” or “Man on”
The hackles are useless, anxiety steels the joy of the game, the effort the reward.
