Sponsorship

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Right now, as I think of sponsorship, I think of all the
things I have done wrong.&nbsp; Times when I was not understanding enough and
times when I was too understanding and enabling.&nbsp; Sponsors I chose for
ulterior motives and the ones I didn't challenge when they wandered away.&nbsp;
I search my mind for the ingredients that were in the mix when things went well
and the dominant component was willingness, mine and theirs.&nbsp; Whether I
was sponsor or sponsee, willingness overrode ability, determination and
love.&nbsp; We had to come to the table willing, this was never
something&nbsp;we were able to cook up or construct.&nbsp; Nor is it something
I can always hold onto, sometimes willingness evaporates or slips away like
sand in a clenched fist.&nbsp; The permanence and impermanence of sponsorship
awes and frightens me.&nbsp; Like a guidewire twisted from many strands none of
which reaches from end to end I worry about the unraveling but depend on the
strength.
