In regard to art, unlike the rigid scheme of true science, there is a certain objectivity to what makes something (or someone) successful. Continually learning doesn't mean great things don't happen; obviously, they do. But an author doesn't write a poem expecting the poem to triumph in every way (much less write poetry for anything more than the sake of writing poetry...), yet a certain combination of intentional verbiage and inspired rythme hits that something which makes us all human, and it becomes beautiful. I think what I'm trying to say here: It is not the potential to trip and fall that prevents us from mastering the "craft;" it is the endless and varied avenues by which success is newly defined that limits one from claiming mastery. Just a little thought.Steve Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976196529166291609noreply@blogger.com
