a tale of painting...

It took only a moment to settle right in.
 The paint was poured, the water bowl filled, and brushes were dipped for softening.
Laid down the foundation...
  I was ready to build the story from here.**

All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. 
You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge 
as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. 
Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.
