On the wondrous merit of 'anticipation'.....

Comes to mind the wondrous benefits of ......................waiting; waiting for the unexpected to occur, waiting for the washing machine repairman to come - dreaming of fresh shirts to wear; waiting for a phone call from a loved one, waiting for the train to arrive - shivering in the early morning frost at your suburban train station; waiting for your name to be called at the doctors, waiting for the day to arise, early in the morning - wondering what the day will bring; waiting for the mail - that important document to arrive that will transform your fortunes; waiting for..........whatever life's hand is to deal you........... on the wondrous merit of anticipation; for when we IMAGINE, the richness of our expectation far outweighs the tangible results........................for whatever truly arrives, it will only be a poor approximation of the imagined joy that precedes the 'fait accompli.'  Indeed once the arrival manifests, it is back to the drawing board.......onward to the next occurrence which once again we build up beyond realistic boundaries. The bottom line is Desire desire desire wants wants needs needs cant do without cant do without, if only if only, but for but for, et cetera.................... One can learn to rest deeply and contentedly in the pool of anticipation, indeed to find Truth and Satisfaction in the not having, not receiving, not accomplished - for therein lies True Reality in which the ever present promises nothing but yields everything............oh to experience the true humility of unrequited love, the bliss of not quite reaching the mark, the joy of missing an important appointment, the ecstacy of misunderstanding - for in these disappointments lies the power of Imagination to supply and enrich the anticipatory musings the "there is always the future"......... to beckon and impress the entrenched yearnings of the HeartMind that is everpresent effervescent................. We will bottom line never achieve True satisfaction - this is what Life is Showing us Teaching us to remain Grateful and Awed with the beauty of the Moment which is JUST AS IT IS ....................no frills attached....................with bows.
