You start with something to paint onto, not always but sometimes a blank canvas. You take your material and your skill (such as it is) and begin to form an image that never quite matches your idea of the final picture but somehow interacts with the time, place and context to do its own thing.

Knowledge is like a candle in a dark place and teacher is the one who lits other's candle using his own. Continuing on the Chinese proverb: "I hear, and I forget/I see, and I remember/I do, and I understand." I teach, and I share.. So those who learn can continue to build on the road towards eternal glory rather starting from the beginning and in darkness..
