Sweet tooth

The good intention of the best laid plans is sweet and brittle like hard candy.  Patience, persistence and a slow determination join to experience the full range of sensory delight.  But haste and carelessness bring mistakes, and what had seemed so solid fractures with ease.  The resulting pieces are just as sweet, but now so much more dangerous, armed with sharp and jagged edges; to savor them is to risk the delicacy of taste. It's best to stay true to form, to be even and constant.  The sweetness lasts much longer when allowed the time to melt.
