That was a really wonderful analogy and one I will no doubt be pondering. As a painter in my (prolonged) infancy - off the trail and on again - that's the way I find painting to be a good bit here, a puzzle there, and always drawn to the inescapable beauty that may or may not just yet be in hand - but each stroke closer. See I can't put it as well as you, but I feel it and it has added hope to my quest to someday paint beauty if I keep at it, and added fuel to my desire to be ever more a part of the change. I'll be coming back to this one. Thanks. Steven Tracey,

The jigsaw puzzle metaphor rings hard for me. You get to know the whole by getting to know the pieces. This post really puts it all together. The jigsaw puzzle metaphor rings hard for me.
