friends of the lane !! doing it again !! we're not (quite) insane !! YEAH!bowling night tonight...
bowling carries with it the risk of beery intoxication... succumbed to upon tonights journey. relaxes the muscles, and the mind... lets the ball flow... ideally! the hardest, is when you get up to bowl, at least, when i get up to bowl, and the friends of the lane jingle rockets around my brain... (see above)
not too satisfied with my bowling tonight, but, i did get a few satisfying shots in... shots that not only went well, but, went as planned!! nice when that happens... of course, i planned for the shots that went poorly to go well, too... but shit happens. bowling, as far as i can tell, is actually a very zen thing. to do well, it seems one has to be somewhere straddling total relaxed abandon and pure focus. maybe all sport is like that, i'm not sure. i never did much sports as a kid. or as an adult :) . not like, team sports get the thing in the thing and win points kinda sports. cycling is good. but there is no score. maybe its not a sport, the cycling, not the way we do it. just a lifestyle.
but yeah, knockin' down them pins. i like it, when it works. i can feel the potential within me to be a lot better, maybe not a king, but, perhaps as good as that there yeske. but attaining that balance of focus and, well, ya, relaxedness, confidence, whatever it is. getting that thing. that is the trick. and of course, the bare physical skill of hucking that sphere down the lanes. that is important too. i think i need to work on my technique some. but, i mean, sometimes, i can see it, i pick up the ball, look down the lane, and i can really see it. the whole alley is in balance, the mind/body machine is cool and relaxed, the throw is relaxed, and i can tell, like, halfway through the throw, like, as soon as the walk up is done , as soon as the ball is released, i can tell for sure, its going, strike city, or spare city, or whatever.
its just too bad that those moments are, well, a little too rare. how do i get there all the time? y'know, like, the awesomeness, one can feel it, its not a fluke, its all in there, all in the person with the ball,... its just calling it to the surface, so transitory, so slippery through the fingers. hopefully in time it'll become easier.
or else i'll just be a suck bowler for ever :)
