Thank you for your thoughtful piece, Cecil.

It brings to mind Heidegger’s “Holzwege,” where paths that seem aimless actually reveal the need for discipline to enable real freedom. Your take on balancing creativity with self-discipline is refreshing and insightful, offering a great reminder that structure doesn’t limit, but rather enhances, artistic freedom

Thanks for writing. That Heidegger is a philosopher is about all I know about him. Thanks for pointing me toward that flag. I really like the visual reference of the word Holzwege as an overgrown path in the forest that may lead to a forgotten nowhere.
