What do you make of this your life,
my dear?
You started long ago gathering experiences,
as does everyone.
At what point do you consolidate them?
Evaluate them?
And then—because gathering and evaluating
are but two legs of the three-legged stool--
then you commence the making.
I believe it's about time.
Well, it's not about time,
for time (thank goodness we found out
in time)
is irrelevant here.
It is time to pull it all together
with screws and glue
(nails will not do)
pull it together in its final
(is it ever really final?)
form
and say, pointing with modest pride,
this is what I have made.
And hope no one minds
that your three-legged stool
wobbles
and must lean against
--ah, lean against—
a support whose need you had not foreseen:
the supporting wall of faith.
In . . . ?
