Confusion is found in maintenance
Embattled with knowledge
I go questing for solutions
Challenges are sandpaper
Refines my spirit
My answers are in jeopardy
Sometimes honest endeavors found
Then we find the question
Attempting to interlock
Random guesses resolve
Hunches based on instinct
Our deep reserves for survival
Trusting ourselves
Bitter in our determination
Following a self created walkway
Happiness just out of grasp
Stretching fingers tip the knob
Doors that close while others open
Broken splinters of wood
Evidence of forced entry
Some by self others unlawful

Sandpaper makes for a very diverse analogy— From 40 Grit through to 2000 Grit that is still enough to ruin paintwork!

I was just being a little bit facetious! But yes, via email is often a great alternative to long distances. I don’t trust teleportation just yet! 🙂 I’ll mail you!
