Wait

I came across this quote on a blog this morning and have been thinking about since that time:


"It is not easy...to wait. Waiting is what the hunter does, and the poet and the slugger. He waits for the moment of inevitability and fate and then he swings, or shoots, or takes up the pen to put down a line. They don't teach us to wait in America; they teach us to grab. But waiting is what we do when we are looking for something beautiful, when we are looking for an end to our sorrow. Nothing is infinite in life, not even sorrow."

Just back read a bunch of your posts. You are so great. Looks like you have been having such a fun summer. I need to carve out more moments like the ones in that video...and learn to be better at waiting. Great quote.

Great quote! Waiting can be the worst, but so great too.
