That just means it will really be worth it, when you find it, whatever it is.

[he pauses, swinging his legs in silence for a long minute.]

Everything is part of something bigger. Everyone is part of something more than themselves. Half the time--most of the time--we don't have a clue. Whatever you're looking for, it's out there, and you'll find it when it's ready to be found, as long as you're ready to find it. Maybe you won't even know what it is until then, but when you do, things will just fit into place. I know that sounds childish, and I sound naive. But it's been true for me.
