Waiting

We wait a long time for things to fall into place.
And think we don’t have that much time to waste,
and thrash about with maybe this and maybe that.
And none of that is wasted.
It is just another form of waiting.
We can wait like this and we can wait like that,
but it is all waiting.
While we are waiting, what?
Are we trusting?
Or pushing? Sholving? Chasing promises?
Stoking addictions?
Who is trusting themselves to know what to do
when the time comes?
And, in the meantime doing what calls our name,
catches our eye even here, now?
Listen for what calls our name!
Keep an eye on what catches our eye!
Hints and clues are everywhere for those who know
how to look and what to look for.
Trusting ourselves to know what we see when we see it is the primary characteristic of those who know what is looking for them when it walks into view.
