Anticipation in an interesting
word, it explains the time between buying a lottery ticket and the drawing. It’s
the long and sometimes futile wait between "I’ll call" and the time it takes for
you to call him. Anticipation is eagerness to either experience that which you yearn
for or what you fear most. It’s the mind’s
foreplay when imagining an outcome.
I am anticipating good news and
expecting silence. Though mutually exclusive, perhaps they are brothers and silence
is good news.
I love the thoughts which swim in
my mind when I’ve sent something out and wait for a reply. Denying that no
reply means no I wait, and think, and wait, and think, like a sea captain's wife
hanging out up on the roof in the widow’s walk; he’ll come back, heartbreak, he’ll
come back, heartbreak.
What are you anticipating?
My anticipation? The time between
this post and a reply.
I love this post. I am always in anticipation over so many areas of my life that it borders on absurd. Anticipating a lottery win, my next follower, the look on a certain persons face when I create a new dinner.
ReplyDeleteHey Cook...will I, won't I, will he, won't he, will they, won't they, will she, won't she, the ying and yang of life.
ReplyDeleteThat look on someone's face when you create a new dinner...absolute pleasure because you are a broad that can cook.
Ever have the feeling of anticipation but you don't know why? There's nothing you can think of that you are waiting for and yet, the anticipation is in your gut. That's my feeling right now.
ReplyDeleteHold your breath J good things are-a-comin'.
