Thursday , 0219 hrs PST ,Menlo Park , CA

it was a spiritual experience.i witnessed an orchestera perform . motionless at the same time with a movement. a cadence , a dance , a ballet , a work of art that will leave michelangelo's sculptures gasping and grappling for life.

roger federer - andy roddick , australian open : with roddick having the best view of a genius at work.flowing water that leaves the mighty niagra , fall with a whimper.

imagine for a moment that you are in a free fall : there's no gravity , there are no restrictions ... and when you land,it's on a heap of feathers so soft that it lulls you to sleep.such was the timing executed in the shot making of roger federer.

one sign said: "quiet please: genius at work" . what work? this was poetry.

every shot of federer made the earth pause just for a moment to witness a miracle happen. the play reached a state of matter hitherto not witnessed nor defined.such was the grace , power and rhythm of his performance.

it left quite a few people in tears , like , when you hear the raaga bhairavi at the end of a virtuoso performance.

i can only quote what Einstein wrote about MKG to describe my feelings about roger's game today :

"Generations to come will scarce believe that such
a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood..."
