We’ve all heard of used the phrase, “but I digress…”—meaning, I’m getting off-track, too far off the subject, meandering into a pumpkin patch…But another meaning of “digress” is to step away from the main topic and shine light on it from another angle, so that we see the whole thing more clearly, more objectively.
