Confronting this morning, the dense-ist misunderstanding by peoples of my reasons for doing this.

In living as I think most people do, I arrive at situations as they are well underway, and all of what I can hope to do is fix whatever is already broken there, and do this over-and-over again. Art at least gives me the chance to create something from the beginning, under control, and if necessary, make my own mistakes, which I will fix, as best I can, and learn why.
