What a glorious day it was as I walked to my park bench. The light rain cleared the air of smoke from the recent fires and I could finally breath deeply. The tennis courts were empty, the ball fields silent, and the middle school play ground seemed to be resting between recesses.
As I sat down on my bench the quiet did not last long. There appeared on the baseball field in front of me a large tractor smoothing the infield. The driver was doing a great job until he came to the bases. He kept making circles around the square bases. No matter how hard he tried or how close he got to the bases he always left a rim of dirt around the square bases. He did not want to get off his tractor and move the bases and so around and around he went and the more times he circled the worse it got.
It occured to me that you cannot cut corners when circling a square base. How often do we keep circling hoping that somehow it will be different this time, unwilling to get off the tractor and move the base!
