[NO. 5 (FARTHER ALONG) -- CREATED IN & WRITTEN ABOUT IN APRIL 2011]

I thought that we'd be further along by now. (Long Lost Brother Over the Rhine)

I'm realizing that I have a hard time being comfortable where I am at. I tend to look ahead or to the past and want to bypass the middle ground. April has been a month where I've felt forced to keep my focus on the tasks at hand and to do mechanical, slow work - when I don't feel like it, when something or someone else seems better or easier. 

I'm still trying to figure out how this particular collage fully plays into this tension, but somehow it does.
