WHAT’S IN A HEADER
There are some common words and phrases used by journals and journalists. I keep saying someday I’ll write down, or is up better, a list. Today’s word is header. The head to the right of me by Murray Toews, inserted by a whimpering right shoulder because “we” will not be getting a shoulder joint replacement. It’s only a torn rotator cuff and I still have enough cartilage to make it work.
I can barely stay awake. The word “header,” is used often in English and Continental football. Have you all runaway from me? England’s women’s team won the Euros Cup! The win was on shootouts, somethings else I might refer to someday, but surely not today. Atheletes and meditators are urged to meditate any least once a day along with the rest of , lets call them general population.
I first learned how this works for me in 2000, maybe a year sooner and I haven’t missed a day for 25 years. I sucked at continental football but enjoyed playing chesterfield rugby with my 1x.
How about the header. Ideally it looks nothing like the picture here composed to my delight by Murray Toews, and is the cover of my recent new book called, as you can see Always Breathe. In a more likely situation a football (soccer ball) is kicked toward the net and the other player on your own team if you are cbarging the goal, and the pass delightfully hanging in the air for less than a moment, in a twinkling of an eye your team mate passes the ball with his head towards the net. If agility and skill are on y0ur side your head receives your team mates pass, shot harder than necessary because you are not friends; but is redirected by you into the opposition team’s net and y0u are a masterful hero!! No-one is more surprised than you. The stadium goes wild. You slide on your knees screaming, your fists pulled tight to your side. I have run out of useful cartilage, and my right shoulder just wants to be taped in a sling. So there.
