Through many years, I've been focusing on the pitch and the outcome of whether or not I actually hit the ball to make it on base. I've realized that it's more about watching the movements the pitcher makes to throw each particular pitch. Will she curve her wrist, smack her glove to scare me, or throw a ball? If I can see what she does as she throws each pitch, I can be better be prepared for that brief moment when the ball reaches the batter's box. The outcome is now the result of my observances and my reaction to each of the pitcher's movement. I'm in control and I choose how I want the game to end.

A Message..


One important call missed,

One voicemail heard,

One call back that I didn’t make,

5 minutes of what would’ve been the last,

Gone forever.

Something I promised to myself that wouldn’t happen again,

Happened again.

Two times to learn from my mistakes?

Why not the first?

I can only now imagine the words,

But never can I say I heard them.

Only a voicemail, but never a call back.
