Bird in the hand

Is the alternative two in the bush?  Maybe it’s three.  Maybe they aren’t even birds.

Why is the status quo more appealing than the pursuit of other or the pursuit of better?  Might be the possibility of failure.  How much time am I spending avoiding that possibility?

How much effort (and time) am I spending attending to the bird I have?  What does working with one hand occupied with the bird have on my ability to make a difference?

Might be worth considering how tight my grip on the bird is.  Might be worth considering the value of perceived certainty.
