Waiting And Hoping

Every waiting for something has its end. The waiting may take time Or it may soon end at a wink of an eye. Every waiting can be measured by seconds, minutes, days or weeks months, or years or even by decades. The human heart waits and longs for that which is waited for. It may be a start of a journey or retirement plan, a visit of a friend, a taste of food in the tongue, a birth of a child, healing from illness, or many more to mourn and celebrate. There is absence of waiting when hope is shattered, when windows are covered to hinder the lights to pass through. Let us rather continue to wait and hope for the lights to shine than never wait and hope at all. ____________ written on May 30,2016, while waiting for the train, having missed connecting train from Frankfurt to Hamburg because of some delays.
