The Key

This weekend, someone walked ito my life again.

Not because he had to,
he did.

Not because of what I've done,
I have.

Not because he owed it to me
he does.

Thirty four years ago two boys dribbled their way into my life.
Together we did great things, among them was to forge a friendship.

Two days ago, two men came back.
Not because they had to,
because they wanted to.

"The key to a peron's heart is an unexpected gift,
at an unexpected time." William Forrester

If you think basketball is about dribbling,
you're wrong.

If you think sports is about winning,
you're wrong.

If you haven't experienced the movie, Finding Forrester,
experience it.


For Willie and Edwin,
who have taught me so much,
and continue to do so.
