Arrive Without Going



Arrive without going. Imagine your goal.
All obstacles vanish.
No need to "fast-bowl."
Arrive without going. Contemplate your pick.
All obstacles vanish.
No need to "drop-kick."
Arrive without going. Envision your hope.
All obstacles vanish.
No need to "jump-rope."
Arrive without going. Meditate your zeal.
All obstacles vanish.
No need to "base-steal."
Arrive without going. Fantasize your score.
All obstacles vanish.
No need to "pull-oar."
Arrive without going. Cogitate your dream.
All obstacles vanish.
No need to "tag-team."
