Waiting.....

Have you ever waited for the bus to come, for the queue to move, for the jam to ease, for the money to be in.......?

Have you ever waited for a loved one, for a call, for a reply, for help, for a miracle, for healing, for dawn, for the rain to stop, for sunshine to appear.....?

Have you ever waited to hear your test results, to be pushed into an operation theatre, to be interrogated, to receive the pronouncing of judgement unto you......?

Waiting...... is a process that can be a torture, a suffering;
a process where you can develop IBS (irritable bowels syndrome) and constipation,
a process that tries your patience and stretches your wildest imagination;
a process that can cause your hair to drop, or your skin to deteriorate & eye circles to darken...

Yet..waiting can also be fruitful and fulfilling,
the time during which you can read something enlightening, or calm your mind and sort out your thoughts, or think of things to be thankful about, or simply have an intimate time talking to and listening to God.

As i count down to the 'meet the ex-pope' session and the grilling and firing that is to come, i pray for a fruitful time, that i may be mentally, emotionally and physically ready for the things that are to come.
