Well said. As I was writing, I was reminding myself of this.

I also find your comments here about timetables very resonant. Seems to me there are many, many aspects of life in which timetables are suggested to us that just don’t pan out, requiring patience. One obvious instance comprises the development of children: how many parents do you know who crow about their child arriving at some milestone ahead of time (supposedly), and how many worry incessantly when their offspring seems to be “late”? I fear I have to include myself in both groups–but after thirty years, my daughters have pretty much taught me that I cannot pull them along any faster than they are ready to go.
