A great message transcends this piece of writing... With practice or patience (the two can be synonymous), we can succeed and overcome great obstacles in this life.. Sometimes we need some "hard strokes" and "new shades" to see the wood for the trees... It can give us a new perspective, and used in the right way, can actually enhance our creative style, as it allows a slight tangent or maybe a large tangent... Tangents are good... Life would be very boring without them :o)
