From Kelly, a really cool post about Parkour, a really cool sport.
My favorite is Kelly’s quote to wrap the post:
Gives me chills. My entire girlhood, my entire life, might have been so different in so many ways if I’d had any of this when I needed self-confidence, when I needed to be living in and learning my body rather than being so wary of it. Oh, the possibilities.
And with some practice…walls become ladders and obstacles disappear….
The underlying metaphor of Parkour that obstacles aren’t always obstacles and anything is possible.
If you have a child, please teach them this. Parkour is one good way to do so.
