Reaching To Get On Base

Listen to "Reaching To Get On Base" on Spreaker. One of my greatest weaknesses is depth of thought. It happens when you race through the teen years believing all things adult are going to be as poetic as the words put down on paper. Word play. No need to put it in perfect pitch. Hide the truer meaning in a collection of sentences so that your future self can struggle with a better understanding. On this podcast I go back three years to 2016 to meet up with a daily writing page filled with what seems to be dark poetry when in fact it's a physical path of accountability. The writer draws the image of so many that live their life via the last email sent by the boss. The person that stands at home plate and never takes a swing at the ball only to complain about the game not being fun. Those that have vision and make decisions without ever gripping the process of seeing it through. How and when? Why and where? We don't try to find out. We let others decide for us. Back to the home plate. There we are with what we think is a winning attitude. This time around we're going all out to reach for the fence. No! Just get on base. With experience you'll gain in strength. The journey will make the home run a greater victory. Reach to get on base.
