Waiting

Sculpture entitled 

Is It Worth Waiting For?

Yesterday's waiting for internet transactions, and never once applying this.

I had associated this practice with "waiting room" experiences.

Now I see it is so much bigger and prevalent in my life.

This just in...

It's Thursday and I am realizing (again) that the waiting in my life
is EVERYWHERE, 
not just the obvious waits at stoplights,restaurants, stores, etc. 
In fact, I have not really been "out" in three days.
So, now, here goes:
J.R.
(3 breaths)
K.L.
(3 breaths)
M.W.
(3 breaths)

I am

DRAWN instead of DRIVEN

FOUND instead of SEEKING

GROUNDED instead of GRASPING

CENTERED instead of SCATTERED

ENOUGH instead of MORE

NOW instead of WHEN

FULL instead of HUNGRY

STILL instead of RUSHED

RIGHT HERE instead of THERE.

Rita is never late.
It was only during the last 10 minutes or so of my
wait for her at Freebirds that I remembered this practice
and started enjoying the breathing time.
Interesting how I kept expecting her to show up at any minute,
so it wasn't a frustrating wait at all.
She and I got a good laugh out of her assisting me
with my practice this week.
