“Failure is the key to success. Every mistake teaches us something.” —Morihei Ueshiba Poetry is a failed attempt to tell someone what it's like to be you, but in the attempt we always succeed in telling them something else. Perhaps we can tell them— unbeknownst to ourselves unbeknownst even to our telling— something about themselves or perhaps we simply let them tell themselves something about themselves and this attempt is all that we can hope for and this attempt is more than we could hope for and this attempt is beyond hope.
it’s hopeless … in other words – which is what lets the communication happen
