What are you like at waiting… ?

We’ve been doing a lot of waiting recently.

Waiting for lockdown to end. Waiting for schools to restart. Waiting for government announcements. Waiting for church to meet in person. Waiting for the next parcel to be delivered.

Waiting… to gain pleasure

Waiting is strange. It has so many forms. Some waiting is rather appealing. We eagerly anticipate the arrival of a good friend. We long for the start of our summer holidays. ‘I can’t wait’, we say. But, of course, we can. Indeed, we must, because most of the time we have no choice.
