I pulled my flute out today - the second time in months. It's funny how an instrument sticks with one; dexterity and nimbleness fades away - but the head knowledge is all there. If only I could transmit that 'know how' to my fingers, but skill is something that only practice will increase. Interesting, isn't it: if the smartest individual existing doesn't exercise his mind, then he may as well not have one. Skills, abilities, talents - they are only as profitable is the time and energy we put into them. Indeed, they don't revert to dormancy with under use, but degenerate. Like my writing . . .
