There's a poem I've been thinking about a lot.
A Cat in the Ointment
For some, life's one long fine surprise
the ointment's pure: there are no flies.
For some, life's one long disappointment
there's only flies: there is no ointment.
The rest of us live in the middle.
You own the cat -- clean up the widdle.
- Neil Gaiman
I have been really feeling the trueness of this recently.
