This Friday at 4:35pm I will be taking off to the skies for my two week holiday in Belize, Central America. As the day nears, I am building in anticipation as for most people it's not everyday you find yourself being able to go to another part of the World. I am hopeful as to what insight I will gather when I'm there. Relax, see family, have fun.. all of what I'm sure I'll be doing when I'm there, but more than this, gaining perspective on life is perhaps the foremost reason I am anticipating my arrival. Not only 2 years ago when I was last there in Belize I remember a young boy and his young sister greeting me on a basketball court. Despite their shoddy clothes and lack of footwear, their third world presence failed to diminish their knowledge for what real happiness was, but even more was seeing the happiness they had when letting them join in playing basketball with myself and a friend who was there also. By my fashionable trainers and the simple fact that I possessed I basketball, the young boy was already aspiring, "I wish I had trainers like that", "I wish I had a basketball". They (as well as I) had enjoyed the hour spent on the basketball court and together - brother and sister - they trailed bare-footed over the gravel, dust and rocks back to their home, perhaps aspiring to what can be in life. For the most of us, our reality's are the dream; for others, their reality can only ever be a dream. I went to the young boys house the evening before I left so to give him the basketball. His expression was either that of 'what the hell you doing here fool', or that of a total unexpected gift. I will always cherish that moment on the basketball court seeing how happy the heart in a child can be despite the lesser environment they are exposed to. Some might read this and gather what's the point of this story? Fair do! For me, the point is it's getting time that the difference is made.
