The art of music is difficult to read.

The art of dancing is difficult to understand. 

The art of a paintbrush's stroke is difficult to interpret.

The art of knowing thyself is the most complex to learn.

Yet, even with its difficulty, I still want to try.

I still want to read.

I still want to understand. 

I still want to interpret.

I still want to learn.

But I'm not sure if the water will let me.

I look towards the faucet and fingers grip my shirt.

Learn, she said while nodding her head.

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

The water won't allow me, I reply.

Her grip on me only tightens. 

Then allow yourself to do so.
