The small things in life often come to us. When it involves big things, we have to go to them. Take the performing arts. They’re expensive, they’re complex, they take time. We have to wait until they’re ready to receive us, and make sure we turn up at the appointed time. Saying “I want it now” is just silly; only emperors and kings could do that. For them, the bard or Royal Chapel or court theatre was always standing by, waiting for their good pleasure. All it took was a wave of the royal hand, and the music or play would burst into life.
