One of my favorite things to walk Central Park looking at the signs on the park benches. A few years ago, the “adopt a bank” initiative was launched to raise funds for the care of Manhattan’s green lung.
By paying a large sum of money (several thousand dollars), you can put a personalized post on one of the nine thousand benches in Central Park and actively sponsor it.
These plaques include declarations of love, memories of the deceased, and romantic quotes from authors. and my attention was drawn to a bank financed by a multimillionaire businesswoman quoting the Scottish naturalist John Muir, a historical supporter of national parks.
“Everyone needs beauty as much as bread.” The famous slogan of the American suffragettes demanding bread and roses echoed in my head: to work, yes, but also to be able to work, to improve, to enjoy the good things nature, books and life have to offer.
as lucentinos we need beauty too; not only bread, but also roses. We know that this Friday’s match against Zunder Palencia has special incentives. return to Alicante Peter Rivero not only as a rival coach, but also from players we know very well, such as Devin Schmidt, who won last season at Cáceres, or Chumi Ortega, who is now the most valuable international player since the league started.
The match will be a bone, and Rafa Monclova’s men will have to work hard to earn their bread and continue to add victories to the table. Rivero’s Palencia is going like lightning and HLA Alicante will have to present more convincing arguments than in days past if they want to continue at the top of the table.
Expect blood, sweat and tears on the track. But as fans, we claim our right to beauty. We need it. Fall in love with team play. Colorful basketball that our quarterbacks Chapela and Steinarsson were able to display. Guillem’s dunks. McDonell’s photos. Blaylock’s trios. The power of Gatell and Borovnjak. Parrado and Berg’s move. Matulionis’ playful smile.
Communication between the team and the stands, which is very important on nights like this pushing ourselves to victory. We want a tough fight, yes, a bench, a waste of energy on the field, but also emotion, applause, applause, bursts of joy together, passion for Lucentinism.
This is the real food of the hobby. Like the American trade unionists, but this time at Pedro Ferrándiz we want both the bread and the roses.
