well, i'll tell you, much like when we're dealing with puppetry in our field, some folks reckon they can just jump straight in, but i always say, "do not follow the preexploratory statements you hear scattered about like seeds before the first rain." much like with my crops, in puppetry, you gotta prepare the soil first, make sure it's ready for the seeds you're about to plant. sometimes, you get a veiled opportunity, something that doesn’t show its worth right away, not unlike a rare heirloom tomato hidden beneath its leaves. and if it doesn't sprout the way you hoped, well, then it's time to start again, learning from the land as you go.
