Yes it can be great fun until someone takes it too seriously and it then becomes highly competitive and the fun drains away - but I guess that\'s so with all kind of sports.

Letting Go.
Andrew Charles Forrest said:
I remember those days Andy and it is tough but a right of passage that has to be suffered like when the children let go of their parents in the end
The wonderful circle of life
Great write

Letting Go.
dusk arising said:
I can feel the pain it took to write this piece for your neighbor when letting go is so big a part of your own life today.
For the better good of a loved one we suffer our personal loss knowing we are doing the right thing.

Letting Go.
Alan .S. Jeeves said:
I wrote this a long time ago for a lady who\'s young son was about to join the armed forces and leave her embrace:~
I\'ll wager my man drubs the bout,
I\'ll wager my cards win;
I\'ll bet you think, without a doubt,
That gambling is a sin.
I\'ll risk my bottom dollar
That all the good and wise,
Or any learned scholar,
Despise the gaming guise.
I\'ll wager my horse takes the race
And I enhance my stake;
He\'ll run and run to gain a place,
The winning post to make.
But I\'ll wager you your sparkling smile
You\'ll remember that first time
You held your childrens\' hand a while
As they were in their prime.
I\'ll wager you a candy kiss
I firmly guess it\'s so -
I\'ll bet you won\'t remember this...
You ever letting go.
(Her young man flew far away, flew as high as eagles fly and, alas, never returned)
Ex animo, Alan

Sounds like a fun day was had.... the best bit of course is meeting up at the watering hole afterwards.
Could equally apply your words to lifes journey.

Yes indeed the music is sublime.
Online i found this quote, and it is so appropriate for your piece today:-
\"A great deal of literature is only the obvious transformed into the sublime\"

And to imagine reading the new chapters in your life. It will have poetry wrutten all over it, There tends to be a ceertain reminding factor of a sudden moment in times appkies the feeling of did I just turn 21 or was it 50. A good book with chapters stamped on your heart...

I can\'t help but see the spiritual \'Book of Life\' in this. Even if only sparks or small flame at times - we are still in it if believers, I believe.
Otherwise I\'ve been in the wrong \'chapter\' since age 3, when I began Sunday School!
