Mulberry to Silk
Bumi is very, very good at waiting. He's had a long time to grow accustomed to it, to grow to fit the rhythms and patterns it demands, the heft of the weight it makes you carry. It's the key to everything, to politics, to jokes, to finding yourself again with people you've loved and lost.
Breathe and settle and wait and listen. Remember: all waiting is active, all waiting is receptive. Watch for the right moment, it will come. Watch and wait and say, at last (all waiting is long, but this wait has been longest), "What is my name?"
