Dag Hammarskjöld, Markings
In the point of rest at the center or our being. we encounter a world where all things are at rest in the same way, Then a tree becomes a mystery, a cloud a revelation, each man a cosmos of whose riches we can only catch glimpses. The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a book in which we never get beyond the first syllable.

I Am No Longer Blake Hawksworth

Last year I reviewed a case where a Dodger pitcher failed to cover 1st base. In that instance, Pitcher Blake Hawksworth committed a mental error which had game-changing consequences. Watch it. I said I felt Hawksworth's shame because I was making the same errors in same scale of magnitude in the biggest game in my personal life.

This year, I am wearing Josh Lindblom's shoes. I am committed to progress in my personal struggle against weight.

When I can't pitch like Lindblom, or hit like James Loney, the least I can do is to cover first base. Everyday. All the time.

  1. What a great metaphor for many areas of life. I know of some in my own life that could use an assist with this idea.
