We wait
-for the bus – not yet here
-for the meal – not yet here
-for the play – not yet begun
-for the line – not yet ended
For whatever reason,
-hope
-desire
-expectation
Not yet fulfilled.
Pacing the floor
Like an anxious father to be
Trapped in a time before existence
-turn-walk-turn-walk-turn…
Counting empty minutes
-in dreaded nothingness
-before our conception
In fear
-that it may never occur.
For some
-whole lifetimes are spent
-in this condition
Never satisfied
-to be who they are
-in any moment
-what torture!
-self-inflicted!
Stop! – Open your eyes!
-see a single flower unfold
-watch the sun or the moon
-stately crossing the sky
-hear the bird
-singing in the tree
Feel the abundance of life surrounding you.
Let go – Allow
-the next moment
-to be
-whatever it chooses to be
In peace
-in appreciation
-of all you have been given
-In love – in wonder
-wherever you are
-In whatever situation
-experience it all
Don´t wait
-Live each second - as if
-Another may never come.

The world as DMV waiting room! But the mind needs no license to go where it will.
