How far is far,
how high is high?
We'll never know
until we try.
From Special Olympics Song
Mistakes are unavoidable. Our attempts at lofty ideals often result in mistakes. Errors which, like a caterpillar's cocoon present an ugly face. The beauty of hindsight is wise instruction. Hopefully we learn and avoid making the same mistakes.
The important thing is that we keep trying. Keep pushing boundaries.
