Not just for a

Advice to
Sit with it
Met with frustration
Incomprehension
Patience grasshopper
Can't push the river
Somehow
Sometime
It became second nature
To wait
Sit with unknowing
Trusting the filtering light
Everything in its own time
So much easier to just
Wait

Wonderful writing Tara. God bless.
cool writing. need to write a book
A wonderful bit of prose, Tara! Ah, waiting....... Did a bit of that yesterday - medical procedures, you know.. Hurry up and wait! LOL!
Terrific prose and so true. There is an old proverb, some say German some say Dutch, "We are too soon old and too late smart." With a little patience most of us would be further ahead today.
Brilliant. We Brits are good at it, especially in queues.
The hours of my entire life are an exercise in waiting. I spend more time waiting than going. Very good write up
Magnificent poem, Tara! We wait, but too late! The life is already behind us! It would be necessary to live the present as the bird on the branch .Pas easy! There is always this taste d " eternity in us! It is necessary to read or to reread Albert Camus!
All that waiting has certainly seems to have paid off for you in creative juices, which you seem to have in abundance. Thanks for sharing :)
Great thought processes you have discussed here, dear Tara. I love to muse over the "long wait". About what 'haunting' by your subconscious while you wait, while sometimes you don't even know, that you wait. At an encounter. Yes, it is waiting to meet something. You ask yourself unconsciously, with whom, for what? When will someone find, meet, and feel, the largest, freely given to him, inner wealth? ;-) I like the words Mike wrote here too.
