Searching for the Sun

Tomorrow the day will be 20 seconds longer than it was today.
And the day after that it will be...

Doesn't seem like much.
But gradually, in its own time, the summer comes around.
Nothing you can do to make to come any faster -- or slow it down.
It takes the time it takes.
Period.

When I find myself becoming impatient with others, or with myself, I try to remember that.
Things take whatever time they take.
And sometimes the best way to work on the BIG PICTURE is to pay attention to the tiny details.
Break a big job down into small, bite-size pieces.
Focus on foundational things first, and build on that a little at a time.

Just make a little change in the right direction every day.
There's an anchoring principle there somewhere.

For horses, and for humans, too.
