“I'm youth,  I'm joy,
I'm a little bird
that has broken out
 of the egg.”


 James Matthew Barrie

" Life is one big road
 with lots of signs. 

So when you riding through the ruts, 

don't complicate your mind. 

Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy.

 Don't bury your thoughts,

 put your vision to reality. 

Wake Up and Live! "


Bob Marley

Kiss the Shadow




" Poetry is an echo,
 asking a shadow
 to dance. "

Sounds like the plot

of a bad movie:

In an arena

of pampered millionaires,

spoiled "student athletes"

who never earn a degree,

 of

"Kings" "Legends" and

"Franchise Players"

consider THIS fellow:

An Asian,
the child of immigrants

in a sport with 

BUT ONE

(retired) Asian hero,

He played his college ball

at Harvard

(NOT a recruiting ground

for professional athletes).

Jeremy recently slept 

on his graduate-student
brother's 

sofa.

He was cut

from two NBA teams.

Then the New York Knicks

came calling.

Result:

L I N S A N I T Y !

Jeremy Lin is the first American-born player

 of Taiwanese or Chinese descent

 to play in the NBA.

He has the 

MOST POINTS

in his first five games

of ANY PLAYER

in NBA

HISTORY!

 136 points

 in his first five

career starts.

The ancient Greeks,

when the weren't busy

inventing democracy &

Philosophy,

appreciated sport.

Excellence of the Mind,

of the Spirit,

of the Body

was their paramount value.

They had a word for it:

Arete`excellence.

Perhaps you are not

"into" sport.

But magic like this

transcends category.

It is uplifting to see.

(You may see Lin perform below)
