Exactly. The dots guy. I've always thought getting older was a bit like looking at those paintings. You're born, and that's when you're standing right up next to the canvas. Nothing makes any sense. There's just a lot of light and color. But as you get older, you begin to back away, and that's when the image starts to cohere. All those little spots of color turn into flowers, or people, or dogs. You gain perspective. Tommy Wallach

The quote, "The dots guy. I've always thought getting older was a bit like looking at those paintings. You're born, and that's when you're standing right up next to the canvas. Nothing makes any sense.

There's just a lot of light and color. But as you get older, you begin to back away, and that's when the image starts to cohere. All those little spots of color turn into flowers, or people, or dogs.

You gain perspective." is about how time makes you see things more clearly as you age. When you are young, there are many things that seem confusing but as time goes on it becomes more clear to you what is actually happening. The thing that helps cohere the picture is not trying to put an order on everything but instead understanding that it will become clear to you over time.
