Waiting

Patience is a virtue... that is wearing thin today.
Luckily Lent is a time of waiting
so I am in good company,
well, OK, numerous company anyhow.
I'm waiting on several things,
some weighing only on my own mind,
some shared,
some said aloud,
some not.

I love the relationship of Advent and Lent.
Waiting for birth
waiting for death.
one in anticipation of life
and one...
in anticipation of suffering
but also life!
Waiting for well-earned joy.
