You can write: Slowly, we suddenly realize. We are no longer so paranoid, and we are no longer so obsessed with some persistence. Or all your efforts will not give you everything you want at once, but will gradually make you the kind of person you want to be. Or your feet will remember the road you walked; Loved people, the heart will remember! Cats like to eat fish, but cats can't swim. Fish like to eat earthworms, but they can't go ashore.
