Hi, David,
It would serve us all well to approach just about everything as a beginner, eh?
I confess that when I find myself frustrated over a situation, it’s because I believe that I’ve looked at it from a position of experience and, therefore, accuracy.
It’s only by backing off of that position and seeing it as a novice that new possibilities begin to appear.
Waxing nostalgic over the tricycle…

Novice and beginner are sadly overlooked as very important resources to understanding.
I like the tricycle too, felt a little more stable than learning to ride a bicycle with off balanced training wheels.
Of course if I rode a tricycle today I would more resemble a clown than a beginner!
