A Timely Wait

When we wait
time becomes
an unexpected gift
in which thoughts
of idle moments
form new ideas
and solutions

Waiting exposes
one to another
of mutual interests
who could become
parts of other lives
sometime changing
two into only one

To wait slows us
bringing a peace
forgotten in
hurried wasteful
activity meeting
a vengeful god in
haste and speed


F William Broome

Waiting is better than hurrying or impatience. I love to wait in line and observe others. That is like a moving picture to me.
Better for your health not to hurry and tend to fall too.
Haste gets you nowhere fast mostly, but speed is for the people who race in races I think so anyway.

I read a quote once..."Sometimes it's not about what you are waiting for but what is waiting for you".. This piece reminds me of that..) Lovely words, my friend...

Love, M

Yes in this high speed high tech world sometimes I think we have to force ourselves to slow down and just get to know others...
