I am the spirit of track and field
Speak to me
I am of this world but not. I have no body and cannot
hear nor see. The athletes of the world are the bodies
I inhabit and will live within them for as long as there
is joy in track and field. Your elation and despair when
in the field or on the track, I feel. On the road or upon
the course, at these venues too I am ever present.
Alas, though I feel your emotions I cannot directly know
your wishes. To discern your wishes and desires I have
many instruments to do my bidding. You know them as Stan,
Judy, Greg, Heather, Bernie, Harry, Dick, and many others.
My instruments come and go for their life span is set,
but they and those that follow will ever nurture my soul.
Just as the athlete keeps me strong.
To talk to me you must talk to my instruments. Talk to
them; tell them of your plans and aspirations. Respond
to surveys, create your own, develop, discuss and analyse
ideas. For to do so is to strengthen my core, develop the
sport and increase your joy.
I am the spirit of track and field
Speak to me
My future is in your hands. Your future is in my hands.
I am the spirit of track and field
