he: so how's your new job?

me: slowly, the light of understanding is beginning to shine through the gloom of confusion.

he: heh. so be it.

me: each day brings an extra piece of news or an additional glimmer of insight. most times i feel like there's not yet enough illumination to navigate properly by.. but i can certainly see the general direction to follow in order to get closer to a very interesting shape.

he: hmm. proceed with caution, but proceed. there'll be more information and more clarity as time goes by.

me: oui, mon ami.
