wait for something to happen.
wait for a loved one to arrive.
wait for the good news.
wait for the first day.
wait for the last day.
is it possible that there is fruit to be found yet in the waiting? is it possible that, against all odds, the waiting is actually part & parcel of the very thing we are waiting for?
what if "the perception of the new step will only come to those brave enough to stop dancing the old?" and what if "the truly free, the brave who truly seek God, will always have periods, commas, full-stops, punctuation marks, pregnant pauses, breves & semibreves of silence where those around them are given freedom to walk; give space to deconstruct structures, to reimagine and rethink"?
i do not wait well. i sink into myself, into inertia, making little, or no, effort to cultivate the fruit that can be grown in the time between times. wasting so much fertile soil...

I really like this - I guess because I have found those blessings you talk about in waiting...when I have learned to do it well. It is a challenge...but rich therein.
Learning to enjoy the waits...
We will always be at an in-between moment it seems. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow never comes, but I believe Kung Fu Panda said it best in the line, "Yesterday is the past; tomorrow is the future; but, today is a gift. That is why it is called the present."
Thank you "kid" movies.
what if "the perception of the new step will only come to those brave enough to stop dancing the old?" I love this...this is faith, taking that step of faith, letting go of the current gift or present or blessing we have, in order to make room in our arms for the huge blessing the Holy Spirit is waiting to hand us. :o) Praying that the pause, the wait is full of His presence and peace and blessing!!
