finding balance.

every now and then go away,
have a little relaxation,
for when you come back to your work,
your judgment will be surer;
since to remain constantly at work
will cause you to lose power of judgment...
go some distance away
because the work appears smaller
and more of it can be taken in at a glance,
and a lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seen.

-- leonardo da vinci (1452-1519)
