Out of the Park

When We Go To A Baseball Stadium And Cheer A Person Like Babe Ruth For Hitting The Ball Harder Higher Further And More Often Than The Other Players We Are Cheering Him As Our Representative. We Cheer People Of Exceptional Accomplishment Whose Achievements Are So Highly Visible And So Obviously Measurable Because We Too Are Faced With The Complexity Of The Lives That We Live And Are Challenged To Perform Feats Of Heroic Proportions Just To Be Able To Say That We Have Lived Our Lives Well When We Come To The End. In The Novel Babe Ruth Says There Ain'T Nothin' Like A Game Of Baseball. There Ain'T Nothin' Like A Beautiful Summer Day With The Clouds Light And Fluffy And The Sun On The Back Of Your Shoulders And A Nice Liftin' Breeze Comin' Down Onto The Field From Out Of The Stands. The Man Who Feels This Way About The Game He Loves Is A Man Who Faces Enormous Challenges Digs Deep Down Inside Himself And Finds Whatever Is Needed In Order To Triumph In The Game Of Life. This Makes Him A Fitting Representative For Us All; We All Hit Spectacular Home Runs In Out Own Quiet Ways.
