To Wait To Be Or Not To Be

 Waiting because reality

is not currently presenting me

with the usual current of events,

one leading to the next in endless

succession if not repetition, 

hence, waiting, or simply hanging 

in space, and yet, even that bareness 

seems to have a purpose, (an add on)

when you’re waiting for Godot…

but…maybe…

that’s how the Bible came to be,

let alone Peter, Paul and Mary.

It’s about all I can do to just be, which

is why the word “waiting” no longer 

applies. Like the Zen Master said to the

novice sitting next to him: “There is

nothing ‘next’! This is it!”

It’s the silence we notice at a pause in

the action, when what happens next 

isn’t clear. For a moment a glimpse of

where we all came from.
