How do I wait?
With awareness.
Though
sometimes I am lost
bouncing about
within
body & mind?
Why do I wait?
To learn.
When do I wait?
Not often enough.
Ahh but when I do ...
Can I inhibit movement as an act of waiting?
Can I direct my thinking as a way of waiting?
Will I calm my heart?
Do I wait?
Or plunge?
Or both?
Maybe even plunge into waiting?
Why do I wait?
To find out where I am.
To listen to my thoughts.
Maybe even to listen to my speech.
To release the unnecessary and perform an act with ease.
To see.
When do I wait?
When I remember.
How do I remember?
Practice
By reflecting on the fruits of waiting.
Practice
With the help of others.
From the guidance of a tradition.
Practice
Practice
By finding myself in a jam and waking.
Quiet.
_ _ _
Retreat.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Where do I wait?
Inside
My
Thinking
Body
Heart.
Who waits?
