Try as you will, beating defenders, ignoring those who trip you as the ball reaches your feet. They'll only delay your gain - if at all... Forget your falls, You can rise again regardless of the awaiting bumps. Look not to those in stripes authoritatively standing ready to catch your errors, or keep you in boundaries limiting your world. Count not the instants, nor when cheers fade... Rejoice gleefully, instead, in the rage of someone else's pain When the ball rolls again towards a central stillness from whence it starts anew, as the beaten revive their hopes. And, as it all ends, fail not to remember your victorious instants, your frustrating defeats. Smile knowing you've played well; yours was a magnificent journey into a moment when you hear the final whistle empty the arena, where stillness moves you into another life, where all that was was, where all that was no longer matters.
