I cite this short passage by Italo Calvino fairly often:
Among Chuang-tzu’s many skills, he was an expert draftsman.
The Chinese emperor asked Chuang-tzu to draw a crab.
Chuang-tzu replied that he would need five years plus a country estate and 12 servants.
The emperor gave him what he requested.
Five years later, Chuang-tzu still had not started on the drawing.
"I need another five years", Chuang-tzu said to the emperor.
The emperor granted them.
After 10 years, Chuang-tzu took up his brush and in a single stroke drew a crab, the most perfect crab ever seen.
It may not seem like an exact analogy for Ren-C's development, in the sense that there's lots of incremental steps which are "visible"...to the very few people looking. But I think to most, the true profound nature of its design will seem like it came out of nowhere, while it's the result of an epic amount of pondering.
I'm of the belief that my resistance to push or publish something that's not fully formed has been an asset. And I'm of the belief that it's going to blow people's minds.
