I think my biggest problem life in general is the fact that we all truly live in our own little bubble.  The world is perfect and everyone in it is either good or bad depending on what little information seeps through that soapy film of reality.  Not that we don't sensor and revamp our own worlds to look perfect to certain people, all the while sheltering them for those who might have seen the darker side that is now illuminated with pretty little abstracts of reality. A bend here, some extra color over here...  sometimes looks more like a cheap knock off of a Van Gogh than anything.  Yet we all do it.  We leave out the bigger picture...  usually we just give a sampling...  more like a game of mystery picture, but no one realizes they are playing .  Even when we are leaving a massive collaboration that was a life behind to start a new one...  There is always that picture back there somewhere... even if it's picked apart enough to make it completely unrecognizable.  Perhaps the hope is that it will fade and take a new shape that is agreed upon by the makers.  The footprints are the things to watch out for....  making sure your new canvas doesn't have strong impressions from the last.  If one starts building around those footsteps instead of building from the whiteness of innocence, the canvas tends to fade faster than expected, but just slow enough to take you by surprise.  So where does that leave us?  Still with our own little worlds, with the ozone of soap and the starry canvas we have to share...  meandering to and from different corners of the universe with our little paintbrushes, just waiting to add our own color.
