SENATE
Seventieth General Assembly March 23, 2019
STATE OF COLORADO 85th Legislative Day
Rabbi Eliot J. Baskin
O
God, during this auspicious time of March Madness as our legislative clock
necessitates buzzard beaters, I pray that you Senators and staff
may always be a true sportsperson on the court of life.
May
you never lose sight of your baseline.
May your
actions never be out of bounds.
May
you learn to obey life's rules so you may be spared harsh penalties.
May you, like your field goal percentage, be
brimming with 2 and 3 pointers.
May
your turnovers be few, your recoveries quick.
When
your pass is intercepted, may you work to improve your aim.
When
you sink a basket, remember what you owe to the team.
Learn
to prize an honest defeat, above a dishonest victory.
When
you strive to pass idealistic legislation, may these alley-oop
attempts succeed.
May
you so play the game that the Divine Referee will include you in the Hall
of Fame for championing transformative legislative brackets.
Amen.
