Waiting ......

Sitting here on the edge of my seat just waiting for something to happen. Like the Henry James short story I guess. You know the one, where the main character waits their whole life to feel something extraordinary only to realize that the truly extraordinary thing about their life is that they have felt nothing at all. Only of course, in this case, I do actually hope something will happen. I can't just stay on the edge of my chair.

I think patience is, in general a virtue. But deciding to do nothing is a decision of its own, and one I must admit I am not likely to make. So while I sit here for the moment waiting for something to happen, I am also pondering what I will be doing next. Because, happening usually stems from action, and perhaps I am waiting because I have not acted yet. Hmmm? Am I going in circles? Perhaps indeed I am, but for now I think I have some time to think about where I am and to see what will come my way before I decide which path to take and what I will choose to do.

Nothing comes from nothing, something rarely does - So when I start to move I hope I have more than a glimmer of where I plan to go. Funny though how often the path you start out on does not lead you where you thought it would.

I asked a question of my friends the other day - What would you do for perfectly blissful life? Somehow it evolved into what you would you do for a world permanently at peace? The answers have been pretty diverse. Some humourous and some waxing fairly philosophic. And perhaps that is why I am waiting for something to happen. It just feels like I am right on the edge of something new. Perhaps personal, perhaps work, or perhaps the world at large - not sure, but it just feels like the atmosphere is charged somehow. And I think in a very good way.

Guess I will just rest here a bit and see what happens. I think I will probably post the chain from the discussion here - in case anyone wants to add to the thoughts on world peace and bliss -

Looking Forward.............
