A little whisper in the dark

Flash in the pan?

Have you ever done something exceptionally well, surprising everyone around, including yourself, but when the time comes around to do it again, to prove it wasn't a fluke, there is that question of "Can I do it?".

Of course, one can "Just Do It", like a certain retired basketball great has been doing. Acrobatic moves, under the basket, jumping from the free throw line to dunk the ball, yeah sure he can do it alright. I wonder how he felt the first time he stepped onto the basketball court as the top draft pick for his team, with all the hopes of a saggy franchise resting on him.

Only when he could do it time and time again, game after game, year after year, did he become the greatest basketball player ever.

Be like Mike? No, not exactly. But I guess you get the point, or you shouldn't be reading this blog.
