Comment on Keane's Comment

I can understand Cage's willingness to roll dice. I do the same thing some times with something I'm passionate about - animals. From a lifetime of observing animals, I can often predict what their response will be under certain circumstances. These days I often find myself pushing a boundary with animals - moving from unobtrusive observer to inserting a minute element of myself into the environment equation, and watching for their response. I feel I'm growing in understanding wildlife, I'm proactively learning and when they stay - it is exhilarating; when they depart it is humbling. But I found another boundary and it was a learning experience. Not knowing the outcome of playing with some thing you love creates great excitement and I believe, keeps the intensity in one's passion.
