~ pregnant pause ~

timing

is everything

at least

that’s what she said

be still

and know

and watch

and wonder

patience, my dear

it’s virtuous

long I stood

and listened

for an answer

that was

but was not yet

WAIT

how long, oh lord?

DWELL

which way, oh lord?

TRUST

show me, oh lord.

the rhythm of the seasons

returning again

to the place of anticipation

anxiousness

hesitation

hope

the story begins anew

breath of life enshrined

in bone of my bone

flesh of my flesh

bursting forth in marvelous light

to guide

through the passions

of ordinary time
