Mercy! Mercy! That Dang Nabed PERCY!

Wide Eyed Wonder

It often happens that my aptitudes and passions are not in synchronized. For example I love flying model airplanes and I have little aptitude for the hobby. I'm not talented when it comes to building radio controlled model airplanes nor gifted when it comes to flying them. I can say the same about art. Going to a museum or exhibit fills me with a sense of awe however, picking up a pencil or paintbrush soon reveals that my artistic talents are remedial at best. Still, I find that in artwork and my hobby of RC model airplanes, I can achieve a modicum of skill if I work at it.

On the other hand I've always been able to write and express myself through the use of language. So I'm not complaining that my creator did not deal me some high cards, only that they are not the cards that always correlate with areas that fill me with a sense of wide-eyed wonder.
