Waiting for something that should take a long time is quite easy.

It’s when things that are so easy or so automatic or should be, that’s the corrosive wait.

When you make up stories for kids, for adults, for space travelers, then the waiting seems fine and in fact vanishes into a satisfying smile.

So next wait, take the weight of waiting and wash it away with wisdom.

Or send me a round the world ticket, first class please, I’d rather a comfortable lounge to wait in!
