Reinvent our wheel

Have you ever seen a neighborhood baseball game, where the kids are different ages, different abilities, different sizes, but they still want to play? Here, this tree will be home plate, that tree across the way second base, and we’ll put this stick as first base and that pile of stones will be third. Now for four year old Suzie we’ll stand up closer and pitch underhanded to her, and she can use this closer places as her bases. They pick teams, and they have fun.

They have reinvented the game of baseball, to fit them, to serve them.

So many times we take the “solutions” (who wants to be dissolved?) of the “experts,” who are nothing but passers-by, and apply them to ourselves. Sometimes, perhaps more times than we realize, we need to reinvent our wheel.
