A Little Bit Preachy, A Little Bit Rock and Roll

The practice of keeping up with the blog forces me to work. If I wasn't forced to reflect, I might find myself neglecting what should be reflected upon. Awful, I know!

The whole point in learning basics is so that you can master them and move onward. In order to be able to successfully flip, you must first be able to jump straight up or, for that matter, take a step. This works with self expression. How to do make a photograph your own? You add style, perspective, and personality. How do you come up with an original plot for a story? You purposefully contort outmoded plot lines, add twists, and play with convention.

This should be celebrated!

Isn't it strange that princes and kings,/And clowns that caper in sawdust rings,/ And common people like you and me/Are builders for eternity?/Each is given a bag of tools,/A shapeless mass, a book of rules;/And each must make - ere life is flown -/A stumbling block or a steppingstone. ---R.L. Sharpe, “A Bag of Tools”
