For fear of pain the wood refused to go to the mill, ran from the nails, mocked at the Carpenters and never ended in the show room of destiny but spent the rest of its life lying on the forest floor being eaten away by merciless termites... oh the cost of hesitation!!!
For fear of heat the seed refused to be buried, ran from the darkness that was to follow, avoided the Farmer and never became a forest, died a slow painful death of loneliness in the hand of rot and unforgiving beetles...oh the cost of hesitation!!!
For fear of cuts the diamond refused to be found, escaped the blades of Jewelers and never made it to the crown of the queen... stayed submerged in the belly of the dust and laid in utter darkness and oblivion...away from the “whaoooo” of men...oh the cost of hesitation!!!!
For fear of dizziness the clay stayed away from the Potter, refused to get on the potters wheel and never became an amphora for precious oils...it spent the rest of its life as earth for mortals to tread on....Oh the cost of hesitation!!!
For fear of being crushed and jailed in aging bottles, grapes forsook the Vintner and ran to the grocery shop... to be sold for nothing but a nickel, without delay and in a few days, it grew mould and ended in the trash can but the wine ended in a cellar, in the finest of bottles and the best of care...it lived for years on the best of shelves...extending its life and enjoying longevity...Oh the cost of hesitation!!!
And of you my brother... And of you my sister...may I never write of your story and end it with
“Oh, the pain of hesitation”
Do it today. Do it now. Follow that vision and birth that dream.
Oh, the joy of promptness!!!
