I once read a piece about artists
They look back at old drawings...
They cringe and want to rip them up
Because they see their weakness
They see only the immaturity...
They see only the lack of ingenuity
From their younger years
Yet if they could only look with wiser eyes
Understand the growth that must proceed
From child into teen into adulthood
If they only could appreciate the processes
Of artistic trial and error, of learning
Isn't life just the same...
We must learn to crawl before we walk
We must learn to babble before we talk
We must test and try and do and fall
Until finally we can see how far we have come
But until then we are embarrassed...
We blush and hide our face in shame...
Upset by the path along which we came...
But there is no need...we, each and every one of us
Had to go through the same learning curve
So do not be ashamed or embarrassed...
Be proud that you have ever grown and progressed
Be thankful for your talents and feel blessed!
