A Summer
day in the beginning of the new century. A scent of new-mewn grass in Austin´s lovely Silker
Park,the lively voices of the young soccer players
and their supporters.Maybe a slowly approaching storm at the horizon, - but still there is
plenty of time.And the game spreads its koreographic pattern over the field not
quite unlike the subtle wave patterns which rule in physics.
Perhaps
they are also games ?
We should work be such a significant source of human satisfaction.A good share of the answer rest in the kind of pride that is stimulated by the job , by the activity of accomplishing. Womens Nike Free 5.0 v4
ReplyDeleteYour painting shows football before it lost its innocence and became a multi-billion business, political platform and battlefield for nationalism. The football players in Austin seem to enjoy the game without the supporting hooligans and without industrial sponsoring. Yes, I can imagine that football (same as other outdoor physical activities, mountain hiking, swimming, bicycle riding) can still be a nice way to relax after work and to get our heads free of the stress caused by the highly technisized and demanding society.
