The Waiting Place

Dr. Seuss wrote a great book years ago called "The Places You'll Go". It gained popularity a few years ago as the book to give a graduate - be it from high school, university, beauty school, etc. In it, he describes The Waiting Place:

..for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go.
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or No
or waiting for their hair to grow.

"Everyone is just waiting."

Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.

(Dr. Seuss, The Places You'll Go)

I kind of feel like I've ended up there without realizing I had made the turn. The question is, what am I waiting for? Here is what I have realized about myself as I wait: I embrace change, love it,crave it - bring it on! I hate waiting. Can't stand it. Have no patience. Want to get on with it - now!

So, I sit in The Waiting Place, just waiting....
