Acceptable Deviations

The corresponding call when you’re at zero is love. Mike Donelon is plotting the final resting place for the ramps and other skateboard elements from Ghetto Park to Silverado Park. The transfer goes from the East side to the West side. Like mixed media, the hand me down creations by Spohn Ranch’s steel fabricators make mixed sports on the tennis court. The high quality steel edging has the skateboarders pledging and perching their maple planks. Branded and blanks. Would you have thought of serving here. Everyday? Once a month? How many servings should we give until the game is over. Pass around the baskets. Their skateboarding products are routinely shared. Chips and drinks are brought here. The game of skate lands in the service box. Tight tolerances are immoveable during the dream flight departure and arrivals. Nothing but landing gear. Long lines do not wait for security to mash for the proper amount of velocity. Laptops are tightening and loosening truck screws. Keep the chips out of the completes. They’re already complete. There’s no muting here. We’re here to get down. Sights and sounds of the game. The skateboarders bring the noise to these courts; thanksgiving and praise.

They’re acceptable deviations from the dimension. Tributaries from the mainstream. There is a shrink rate to illicit behavior. Accuracy is important for the assembly. The assembly of the complex components is a spirit moving through muscle to flex and reflex. These bones will rise. You have yet to see the multitude of brigades. Board handlers with exceptional skill guard against the vandals’ pursuit. The white boundary lines are perfect angles keeping the rebounds from going out of bounds. The assembly of the crowd. Doing all this because you love it even at zero and never to be a crowd pleaser. A leader among the dead. The stone the masons have rejected has become the chief cornerstone. They stumble because they disobey the message.

Our own planning and preparations do not make us good enough. We’re never good enough. Let’s take the steps to do it right. “The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes. The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad. Lord, save us! Lord, grant us success! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord we bless you. The Lord is God, and he has made his light shine on us.” Power forward. “You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house. Declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” United we stand. Divided we fall.
