Waiting

I'm no good at waiting.  I am notoriously impatient.  My flight to Cape Town is indefinitely delayed this morning due to thick fog at Lanseria airport.  And so I wait.  And I see...

• irritated children
• frazzled parents
• relaxed leisure travellers
• irritated business travellers (me!)
• old people who are not sure what is going on
• desperate phone calls
• the noise and hum of frustration

I want to be more patient.  To live in the moment.

According to Buddha, "things are as they should be"

I will take out my novel, read, breathe, accept things as they are
