Experiment of the Heart
by
Philip Claude Andermann
Edison created the light bulb
By failing 8000 times.
Tesla told him,
I do the same experiments as you,
But I do them in my head.
Both ways might work better
If in teamwork we also conduct experiments in our heart,
Such that we can see further like the rising sun
By always climbing each others’ shoulders
Happy to step on our failures
Till we reach that light
Within.
