It is not easy …
to wait.
Waiting is what the hunter does,
and the poet and the slugger.
He waits for the moment of inevitability
and fate and then he swings, or shoots,
or takes up the pen to put down a line.
We are not taught to wait.
We are taught to grab.
But waiting is what we do
when we are looking for something beautiful,
when we are looking for an end to our sorrow.
Nothing is infinite in life,
not even sorrow.
You just have to wait...
to wait.
