bird in hand

There is an operative saying: “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush".

I want to believe it. That's why I am trying to hold on-- hold on to my preciousss. Although there are times I want to go for those "two in the bush" and leave my bird crippled, weak and unable to fly, I don't want to let go.

But maybe what I need to do is loosen my grip... then let's see what happens.
