Burgess Meredith as Mickey Goldmill in “Rocky”
Photo from blogs.amctv.com
According to Mickey, who trained Rocky under
Such dire conditions that one had to wonder
If he’d get knocked dead,
But the wily Mick said,
“You’re gonna eat lightning! You’re gonna crap thunder!”

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

Not sure why I’m laughing, but I guess it doesn’t matter–humor is good medicine! (It’s been a lifetime since I watched “Rocky”…)

I vaguely remember the first couple Rocky movies, but I probably didn’t pay much attention to Mickey–was more interested in the love story.
