If you step to the plate consumed by your doubt,
or you don’t even try for fear you’ll strikeout;
You’ll never discover the one thing you need,
you must learn to fail before you succeed.

Kevin, you are the master of short verse that has a meaning. You can develope an idea into a few lines that make such a statement about life or spirituality. just the basic things that make life larger or smaller. I applaud your mind and your thinking in almost all of your writes. The time I have spent at your corner of writes has never been a disappointment. This is no exception. RC

thanks
you are welcome in my corner anytime... but, remember:
Sometimes we get stuck in the corner we’ve found,
when something might change if we just turned around.
Oh... there I go again... sorry, can't help it! lol - Kevin

I bought a lottery ticket on Wednesday. I did not win. The reason I bought another one today is that I accepted that failure. Had I not accepted the failure, I probably wouldn't have bought another ticket, and would nave no chance of succeeding.
