for
THE GAME

Having, desiring, touching, feeling

wanting to give it up, wanting to share it
wanting to pass it around

wanting to always
bring it home
again and again and again

The Game
is always about the freedom in the dance
being the passionate play of connecting with
ONESELF
connecting
with the center of the heart of play

to always have the ball
to always know where the ball is
to always want and desire most
to bring the ball home

a complicated dance

in the space of a simple box
GET THE BALL
CHERISH THE BALL
TAKE THE BALL HOME

within
the center of the heart of reality

danced
to the singing of those who watch
and
