for your entertainment.

we are all afraid to take a step over
the limitations we have accustomed ourselves to.
because it is easier
because it is safer
because there is no certainty of the outcome.
the habits,
the simple things we do,
are consistency, are fail-proof.
are the tiniest bit of hope
that we have even the slightest bit of control
over life.
so when life throws us a curve ball,
we don't know what to do with it.
we stand there, watching it come,
watching it happen-
like a slow motion movement with
disastrous effects-
we know what will happen next.
there are few of us that can see the curve ball
arcing towards us, and few
who can not only see it- but catch it-
and we are all guilty of throwing them.
so forget the game plan,
make one for the way you think.
but be prepared to change it,
when the odds bend in or away from your favor.
the players change,
we fall down,
and the rules aren't fair.
you win some, you lose some.
don't be prepared for an outcome-
be prepared for a change in the weather.
i guess what i'm trying to say is:
life.
it's one big game of baseball.
and you can't play it alone.
