| The Wordless Wednesday of 22 April 2020 - one of 6 prompts - is about Game. I think those who have watched the first two episodes of The last dance on Netflix or ESPN would agree that Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls of 1984 to 2004 knew how to hustle and they had game. A great exemplar of sports science and sports performance - if not sports management and business management - both of which Jordan is using in his present role as owner of the Charlotte Hornets. The second episode is about one Scott Pippen. He came five years after Jordan as a rookie [1991 as against Jordan's 1985? 1986?] and he was the first NBA pick. Other prompts include Justice; Mark; Sleeping; Rivers and Human. |

| "Never did the sun go down with a brighter glory on the quiet corner in Soho, than one memorable evening when the Doctor and his daughter sat down under the plane-tree together. Never did the moon rise with a milder radiance over great London, than on that night when it found them still seated under the tree, and shone upon their faces through its leaves".. Charles Dickens - A Tale of Two Cities - ONE NIGHT [179: my emphasis]. A few pages/passages later in this same A tale of two cities there is another quote I liked about the moon. It has a very human element and it reflects on justice and the flow of life. As Lucie found during and after her marriage - she could not step in the same river twice. |

| In the sad moonlight, she clasped him by the neck, and laid her face upon his breast. In the moonlight - which is always sad, as the light of the sun always is - as the light of human life is - at its coming and its going |

| I watched another movie on Netflix before I watched The last dance. The movie is BlackKuKluxKlanman "Meanwhile in Colorado Springs - the first black cop is about to be recruited" So I drew the superior and then all these red people came by. In the bottom right hand corner there is a quote from the trailer Some of us speak English; some of us speak JIVE. And I had read about Coloured Persons' Time in Rene's Black girl; lost keys which is a great resource for coaching and managing Attention. |

| This final image was inspired by Diana Mitford and her autobiography A life of contrasts which was published in 1977. Her sartorial preferences included luxe pink and blue and gold - according to a review of the biography/memoir. Was so happy to finish my latest reading of The Mitford Girls and I did some critical / ancillary reading that I might not have been necessarily able to do in the early 2000s. |
