timelessness
David Hackett- the proof is in the doing.
When I grow up, I want to be just like David Hackett. He has style, power, commanded respect, fitness, success and about a hundred other things I’ll never have. Oh well… a guy must have dreams right? Anyway, I was watching television at a friends house the other day. I never watch TV. I don’t own one. However, on this night I saw older athletes being interviewed. They had former NBA and NFL stars on there. They were out of shape. They appeared slow, soft and weak. It was clearly evident that they were done with whatever made them what they are. It made me think. I do this often… it’s a curse. I think and think. The other weekend I saw David Hackett slaughter a pool. From first run to last run, he was absolutely style, grace, speed and authority. We watched him and saw how bowl riding is really done. I wondered how those former NBA and NFL …. uhm, “athletes” would look on an athletic field these days. It made me realize what a treasure we have. Timelessness. Perseverance. Longevity. Thanks to William Sharp for the image. Skate- Ozzie
