the long, proud history of "ball"

A game exists called simply, "ball." It is played by only two people at only one spot in the world. This one spot is the only place it can be played. These two people are the only two who can play it. There are an infinite amount of possible iterations of the game, but each would be different, and none this particular game of "ball." There is no competition. There is no goal. There is no score. The rules that do exists are vague and unspoken. Time exists only as an element of coherence; otherwise it is inconsequential. The objective of the game is to have as much fun as possible. It is less of a game and more of an opportunity for spontaneity. It is chaos and random chance given over to sport. It is the essence of play; the unplannable, the unaccountable. This particular game has been played for nearly a year and a half. This game will soon be over; never to be played again. A new game will develop in a new place. The goal will be the same; to have as much fun as possible.









I think we all could stand to learn alot from "ball." Why should life be any different?
