Starts and stops, course changes, directional abnormalities - don't organisms, if given the choice, grow on a path of least resistance? is the ability to constantly adjust in order to meet external demands innate? can it be learned? Is it taken in by osmosis, or by careful observation, or some of both? Good improvisational skills are earned through trial and error, and some folks are more adept at handling disappointment. Lots of disappointment in a life with lots of starts and stops, switchbacks, and course overhauls can lead either to giving in, bemoaning the gnarled path, or to taking, with both hands, the blessing and the strength of a life led through well practiced improvisation, and blossom.
