We are, of course, extremely lucky to get to do this. To get to spend two hours of a beautiful Wednesday night on this oh-so-serious whimsy, this competition and entertainment and passion. Lines are drawn, rules are agreed upon, and a space to play is created, a space in which we are invited to yell and sing and dance and live another kind of life. If it is not always pretty it is still the beautiful game, a practice of aesthetics, a creation of space and time. A beauty to which we add ourselves, all of ourselves, bringing with us all of the weight of our lives, all the joy and the sadness of this living - especially in these days when we are all, it seems, individually and together, carrying a bit extra.
