Darren Sproles wasn’t “Too Short.” Last night he carried the chargers. Sproles finished with 105 yards on 23 carries, 328 total yards and two touchdowns. He is so gassed and confused, that he barely made it thru this post game interview.
Here are two pictures…one of him running away with it last night. The other is one that really demonstrate how he is a boy among giants. Did you know that he was 10 pounds when he was born? So they nicknamed him “Tank?”
Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies.
And, fortunately, when there aren’t any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin, or a kind and loving gesture, or subtle encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort, not to mention hospital gurneys and nose plugs, an uneaten Danish, soft-spoken secrets, and Fender Stratocasters, and maybe the occasional piece of fiction.
And we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days, are effective for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives. I know the idea seems strange, but I also know that it just so happens to be true.
