Tin cat at my feet...

There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you, and there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself. The hard part is to distinguish between those times, because waiting and hoping is a hard thing to do when you've already been waiting and hoping for almost as long as you can bear it. Yet at moments like this I try to remember one piece of advice she gave me long ago; don't get impatient my dear boy. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one step at a time. One day at a time.
