Watching a young, long haired child, across my pond,

[cachukis]

toss a whiffle ball into the air, hoping to strike it.
After 15 or so attempts, timing determined. Six swings connected. You could sense the sense of accomplishment.
The animation continued, repeatedly, until one ball launched beyond expectation. The youngster ran from tree to tree in a home run trot.

4. And once there was a successful connection it was a possibility for many more.

Knowing you're capable of doing something at least once opens up the future for more and better.

One of the tricks I've heard, is that a mentor will tell a student that a possibly impossible goal has already been achieved. And then the student is sent to replicate and improve on it.

5. Great advancement. I was hoping, only, to allow

us to replicate childhood moments of knowing it could be done and figuring it out how, by myself, I could make it happen. And then, celebrate that I did it.
