Anticipation

It is said that "Great things come to those who wait". There is a certain anticipation everyday of what is to come next. This is mostly under the disguise of our subconscious. As adults we know that time is an intrinsic part of life and the more we rush it the slower it goes. Children seem to be oblivious to the ticking of the clock unless you tell them something is coming such as Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny or when they are in the car on long trip, hence the famous "Are we there yet?". In this day of instantaneous information we crave ever second that passes. We tune in to our TV's, radios and internet to get the latest bit of gossip and tradgedy happening a half world away. Today we watch as thousands of people worldwide offer there prayers and hopes for the Pope. We are able to participate in this historical moment as if we were at the Vatican ourselves. We can not seem to tear ourselves from our sources of information because of that anticipation of missing something. We have become a world of constant business and unrest. I am not sure if I can stop wanting to know. I have become very attached to my computer and the internet. I am becoming a fan of CNN news and Fox news. So in a sense I feed this media, I give them a reason to keep coming. I am pretty sure if I stopped listening and turned the computer off the news would keep coming. I think deep inside I just want a part of it and maybe in some off beaten way this blog has allowed that. Blogging has allowed me to keep the mind open and the creative juices flowing. I hope people are able enjoy what I have to share.

Anticipation

Waiting for what with great expectation

excitement mounts as the clock ticks

Sitting on the edge of our seats

we wait with great anticipation

Is it now? Oh no.. It can not be

Really? Hurrah, show me more

Exhaustion consumes our bodies

but our minds are screaming for more

Just one more minute

I promise that will be all.

No, don't turn it off

I am going to miss the most important thing of

ALL.
