No Longer Waiting
I am no longer
waiting for a special occasion; I burn the best candles on ordinary days.
I am no longer waiting for the house to be clean;
I fill it with people who understand that even dust is Sacred.
I am no longer waiting for everyone to understand me; It’s just not their
task.
I am no longer waiting for the perfect children;
my children have their own names that burn as brightly as any star.
I am no longer waiting for the other shoe to drop; It already did, and I
survived.
I am no longer waiting for the time to
be right; the time is always now.
I am no longer waiting for the mate who will
complete me; I am grateful to be so warmly, tenderly held.
I am no longer waiting for a quiet moment; my heart can be stilled
whenever it is called.
I am no longer waiting for the world to
be at peace; I unclench my grasp and breathe peace in and out.
I am no longer waiting to do something
great; being awake to carry my grain of sand is enough.
I am no longer waiting to be recognized;
I know that I dance in a holy circle.
I am no longer waiting for Forgiveness.
I believe, I Believe.
