A regional expression we use as a way to acknowledge the sudden realization of something obvious:
Dawn breaks over Marblehead!
I pause this morning to evaluate the day-after-day frustration of trying to get decent photos of book pages I've painted, pages that I leave bound in the book, pages that curl up, won't lie flat, have shadows near the binding, and so forth.
Dawn breaks over my hard stony head: I can step back and let go of perfect!
