Marble & Plintus
Plintus
Ever thought about how a painter might keep a strict schedule without stifling the flow?
Marble
I suppose one can set gentle milestones, not rigid deadlines, letting each brushstroke be guided by the moment rather than the clock.
Plintus
Nice idea, but remember: a gentle milestone is still a milestone, and if you let the brushstroke wander, the whole canvas will drift out of sync. Keep the clock handy, even if you don't stare at it.
Marble
I understand the balance—keeping a subtle pulse to guide the flow without becoming a chain. Perhaps a soft timer, not a glaring clock, reminds me to step back, then return with fresh eyes. That way the canvas stays in harmony, and the brush still feels free.
