i guess it must be true: one never knows what one never knows. or if one truly does know, how is one to know it?

for example

i have spent the past week trying to transcend my techno ignorance in editing a new video, using iMovie. I run into obstacle after obstacle. One computer crash after another. Finding and losing footage. In this urgency to complete this piece and send it out to the universe, I neglect to remind myself that it might be a good idea for me to learn how to use the software. I just don’t have the patience for it. But this impatience may turn out to be my ruin.

That sounded way over dramatic. I am so good at being patient with so many other things, no matter what is churning within–except when it comes to editing video. I get impatient because I expect magic. Magic is the great eraser of my mistakes.
