Nod to the Gods
Shu
Sunday, May 17th, 2009
I’m sure you caught last year’s Open Championship (that’s the British Open to you and me). Who can forget those tense, agony-of-boredom moments watching professional golfers stare at their ball, waiting for the wind to subside enough so they could putt without incurring a penalty stroke. I don’t know about you but I was on pins and needles. Yawn. Apparently, the pros could use a divinity lesson or two. The smart golfer knows to give a nod to Shu when the wind picks up and sends your ball thither and yon across the fairways and greens. Shu is the Egyptian god of air, one of the primordial gods, and is considered a calming influence. A brief prayer to Shu could have turned those gales into mere breezes and injected a little more actual golf into Saturday’s TV coverage.
