“If you come at four in the afternoon, I’ll begin to be happy by three.” ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
There are very few things left in life that create the wonderful sensation of ANTICIPATION – the NCAA Tournament, waiting to know the sex of the baby until the birth, and maybe the first bite of a home-cooked meal. We have access to answers with the touch of a button, information coming at us 24/7, and no signs of any of that slowing down.
Part of the joy of anticipation is in the WAITING…the untouched, quiet moments – through observing, holding our breath, widening our eyes, or closing them to remove one more distraction while enhancing other senses. It’s a dance that we rarely take part in, because we are always on to the next thing. Waiting has become an inconvenience. And so, we must wait. Practice waiting. Avoid pulling out the phone. Breathe. Watch. Think. Dream. We may find that it helps create a more brilliant life – one filled with lovely surprises, mischievous grins, and glorious delights in the simplest of things.
Make it a strong day!
