On this day in 1946 Madison Square Garden was granted a pro basketball franchise
"You call it rough shooting night
I see him hitting the FT
[We] win game
Last game craziest shots
To win game
I see Captain Clutch
Doing what hes been doing
Since I got here
When it comes down to actually winning the game
Number 11 can't be messed with"

β¨ The Forgotten Medicine β¨
We live in a world that constantly asks us what's wrong with us, but rarely asks us what we've lost. We're encouraged to work harder, stay busier, consume more, and keep moving forward no matter how disconnected we feel inside. Yet despite all of our technology, comfort, and convenience, so many people carry a quiet emptiness they can't explain.
Ancient wisdom understood something we've largely forgotten. Sometimes the problem isn't that we're broken. Sometimes we've simply become disconnected from the things that make us feel alive. When did you stop dancing? Not literally, but when did you stop allowing yourself to experience joy without needing a reason? When did you stop singing? When did you stop expressing yourself freely without worrying about being judged? When did you stop being enchanted by life? When did wonder become worry, curiosity become routine, and possibility become limitation?
Many of us have spent years sacrificing pieces of ourselves to fit into a system that rewards productivity but often neglects the soul. We learned how to survive, but somewhere along the way we forgot how to truly live. The child within you never disappeared. The dreamer never left. The creator, the explorer, the storyteller, and the part of you that once saw magic in ordinary moments are all still there, waiting patiently beneath the layers of conditioning, disappointment, and expectation.
Healing is not always about fixing what is broken. Sometimes healing is remembering what was forgotten. Sometimes it is returning to the things that once made your spirit come alive. It may be music, art, nature, meaningful conversation, laughter, storytelling, creativity, or simply sitting quietly long enough to hear your own thoughts again.
Because the soul starves long before the body does. And perhaps the greatest medicine isn't found in becoming someone else. Perhaps it's found in returning to who you were before the world convinced you to forget.

Bill Cartwright on IG: βThe organization that took a chance on me in 1979, will forever have a special place in my heart. The New York Knicks are Finals Bound π₯ Let's go Knicks π§‘πβ
βLou Gehrig was the most valuable player the Yankees ever had because he was the prime source of their greatest asset β an implicit confidence in themselves and every man on the club,β - Stanley Frank
Gehrig, Jeter, Willis, Clyde β¦ they all possessed it.
And so does Brunson
My nickname for Wemby. For all the old heads. Gumby it is. I liked him but after latest nonsense talking about I donβt even have to play good to beat the Knicks? Ruined it for me. #Knicks
