For an artist, repetition is a way
Both to get into your work
And to declare it as uniquely yours.
But for humans repetition offers
Opportunities to learn:
We keep getting it wrong until we get it right,
Or we keep repeating patterns
Hoping the outcomes will be different —
Einstein’s definition of crazy…
Some patterns we repeat may define us:
They can simplify our lives,
Help us develop healthy habits
And keep us safe —
But then there are the others,
The mistakes that we keep making,
The ones from which we never seem to learn.
