What I mean by the art of getting traction is what one needs to stop spinning one's wheels.
I feel like I'm doing a lot lately and not getting much done (negative). If I could get some forward momentum, I think a lot of what I've been doing will amount to something. Like car wheels on water or ice, if I can make a better connection, I'd go forward. In winter, you put down some salt, an old piece of rug, a cardboard box under the wheels and move off the stuck spot. Plan a) change the surface. Sometimes you get out of a stuck spot by rocking back and forth. Plan b) change direction to change the surface. Sometimes you get someone to help, by giving you a push. Plan c) enlist help. Sometimes you get a car with four wheel drive, or traction control, or some mechanical advantage. Plan d) change the vehicle. Change seems to be the operative word here. There is also something delightfully perverse using winter images on hot and humid summer days.
