Patience

There are times when you must realize that you can not look for a lot of attention from a loved one, from anyone. It should not be so hard for people to maintain a detached attitude about any space between them and another.

The reality is sometimes you happen to be connected to one who sometimes falls down an interior well. And, yes, this person may not send many signals out to the rest of the world for long periods of time when that happens. This could be a sign of secret sorrows or it could be about some kind of incredible creativity that is demanding full inner attention. Or, err, it could just be that they are really really busy.

Do not forget that not every person is capable of reporting to friends and family about their deepest personal processes. You cannot know what is happening until more time has passed, and one thing I know for *sure*:

The person will thank you for not projecting your imagination upon him or her in the meantime.

Is that where you've gone? There's a well in Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. Did you take a baseball bat?
