There is this Bible story about Jesus walking on water and one of his followers, tried to do the same at the Christ's bidding. The disciple's first steps were successful but he doubted at this ability and began to sink. And Jesus said something about men of little faith.
The blogger, at his age, is wondering whether he can still set himself "afire" and produce poetry and fiction. But it has been a long time he has left the pen somewhere in a corner. Has the ink dried up?
This reminds of the quotations of William Shakespeare and Gustave Flaubert. They said:
"Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good oft we might win, by fearing to attempt."--Shakespeare.
"Doubt--is an illness that comes from knowledge and leads to madness."--Flaubert
