Waiting

Early yesterday the fog and mist moved in very low over the water, almost hiding the mountain. I knew the fog would drift away in time, but I was disappointed that the only photo opportunity was a big, gray mass. As I watched the fog move slowly, I thought of the times when waiting was the only option. Things don’t always happen on my schedule. Unforeseen circumstances, unplanned situations can thwart the best intentions, and then all that is left is….waiting. I’ve discovered, though, that waiting provides wonderful opportunities to see from a new perspective, to discover a different reality, to simply appreciate the unexpected. Waiting is not a waste of time. It is a new time adventure for the senses and the soul. Maybe you will have a chance today to experience a period of waiting. Probably. I hope so.
