Father and Son

You can, my son, try and you will succeed; together first learn the basics, those of how to utilize and use your body and mind depending on what is in front of you: life is a game and learn to enjoy it- often alone because even though there is a playground there will be very few people that you will see hanging, climbing, getting dirty: pay special attention to these spotless people because, having never played, they are sad and they complain and they become aggressive. They think that the money is more important than the game itself and therefore they seek to look superior to the other; but this is how children who did not play are as adults, kids who did not experience true love between mother and father perhaps. For now, my child I will hold you and wait for the time when your hands will grow stronger to hold yourself without my support: my hands will not be lost but they will be free to applaud you...
