On Seeking a Teammate...


When I think about my own search for a spirit kindred to mine, I think in terms of trying to find a good teammate. There are some people who think in that way, but many end up seeking superficial things, first. Not me. I’m looking for someone who feels comfortable in doing things together, conquering new challenges together, just like playing a good game of catch. You really can’t do that by yourself. You need a teammate who will be there to catch the ball and toss it back, with each being willing to come help pick up the ball if it is dropped by the other. I would love to play a game of catch with someone special on a nice spring day, a warm summer evening, or a crisp fall afternoon. And even in winter, but probably with snowballs, then. I have my mitt, I have a hardball... Let's meet at the park and play catch.
