What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.
I have friends who have been waiting years for 'the right moment'. There's a serious risk they missed it years ago. I read a fable somewhere about a gem on a beach of stones, and a bloke who resolved to examine every stone and chuck it into the sea (to eliminate it) until he found the gem. After weeks of this he became so bored and 'programmed' that when he picked up the gem he lobbed it into the sea without even regitering that he'd handled it. The right moment had passed him by.
....and then grabbing it with both hands!
ReplyDeleteCatkins ready to fly.
ReplyDeleteYes, and plants know how to do that better than anyone! We have catkins too. I love all signs of spring.
ReplyDeleteTiming as they say is everything - in writing it is too, especially poetry.

ReplyDeleteAnd waiting has be the name of the game for the last 14 months and counting.
