Once we step back and begin to reflect on our lives, if we start to think about these places in connection to our memories we often find that there\u2019s one particular kind of place that we\u2019ve frequented over the years that stands out as a significant meeting place. This place functions like an intersection bringing us together with our friends, families, and perhaps more importantly, with ourselves. In \u201cHave I Even Told You About The Courts I\u2019ve Loved?\u201d Ross Gay explores how the basketball courts he played on throughout his life in the different places he lived from childhood through adulthood provided him with a sense of love, friendship, community and allowed Gay to create his own personal mythology about his life and the basketball courts\u2019 place in it. The court runs like a throughline through Gay\u2019s entire life. For you, maybe this place is the soccer field, caf\u00e9, or kitchen.<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\" style=\"background-color: var(--color-6); color: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\" style=\"background-color: var(--color-6); color: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; cursor: auto;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\" style=\"background-color: var(--color-6); color: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; cursor: auto;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Things to think about:<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Read over how much description Gay uses in his piece.
