WAITING

Waiting for answers,

Waiting for other’s to make up their mind or me to make up mine,

Waiting for doors to open or close,

Waiting for spring to come and flowers to bloom,

Waiting for red lights to change or cell phones to ring,

Waiting for unwanted consequences to unfold or not,

Waiting for the pot to boil or the car to warm up,

Waiting to win the lottery or for pigs to fly.
Waiting is often filled with expectations, some of them realistic, some not so much.  However, to wait with an open heart and open hands, to live in the moment instead of anticipation of what will be next; this is welcome balm to my anxious heart.

Today I will remain rooted in the moment, enjoying it as it unfolds in its time.  I release my expectations and breathe in NOW.
