On Making Mistakes

"The sages do not consider that making no mistakes is a blessing. They believe, rather,
that the great virtue of man lies in his ability to correct his mistakes and continually to make a new man of himself."
~Wang Yang-Ming

Lightening Speed

There was time I had the gift of lightening speed,
Tried to save a ball from being run over by a bicycle
The bicycle ran over me instead
Broke my arm and cracked my head.
Why did I even think the ball could be harmed by a bicycle?
Oh dopey me!

i lived on a hill with water at the bottom of the street and if we let the ball roll it usually meant losing it forever if it didnt take a lucky skip to the side of the street, so we were pretty quick kids but still lost a few.

thats an interesting icon picture thyartlife ...

I figured people could relate to this. A ball is a prized possession out on the street. Did you break your arm too thyartlife?
