Practice Makes Perfect


 One time I read that this was Picasso's 243rd bull.  I don't know if that is true - but it is the last in his series on bulls.  The first one was intricate, complicated, realistic.  With each bull he kept getting simpler and simpler.  If I drew a line drawing of a bull, it would look like a cross between a rabbit and a goat.  I just haven't had enough practice.  The more and more we do something - of course the better we get... and sometimes - a lot of times, what ever we are doing gets simpler.
Hospitality.  Grace.  Forgiveness.  Friendship.
But, don't mistake "simple" as weak.  Don't you see the strength in the bull's back?
