Forever be the only player in the game with your blindfold off. Some of our wisest thinkers focused intently on what attacked their ideas. The hunt for truth is not necessarily confirming your most loved notions. Truth always lies in the reality of nature. Thinkers study patterns and only then exceptions. Then exceptions to the exceptions. Long attention span is the key to success. Very small effects over time accumulate in vast results. Variations only show up in crowds. Seeing the minute steps of success placed in the proper priority pins the tail on the donkey. Free Verse 21 Lines 96 Words Pen illustration by G. Gaul 2022 Relating to Darwin's theories of Gradualism and Variation. And, of course, the child's game of Pin The Tail On The Donkey.

Very interesting read. Seeking is never the answer...if, when seeking, we are looking for things that are hidden~ therefore our focus on barriers.
