In whatever language, the world is full of signs telling us to wait. Mostly these are literal signs telling us to hold in place until it’s our turn to cross the street. Mostly.
What signs have you gotten from the Universe that it isn’t yet time to move forward?
It seems a little unfair. Generally we delight in flowers, admiring their beauty and expecting nothing more. But who can look at a strawberry blossom and not think forward to the strawberry to come? With luck we will all be something more glorious later on, but that’s no reason to fail to admire who we are right now.
What “not yet” part of your life do you appreciate?
There comes a point at which you have gone as far as you can go. From here you will need different transport or more information or resources that you just don’t yet have. It’s OK. You aren’t stuck waiting here forever. Just for now. And it could be that the view from here is worth your time.
What do you need in order to move forward with something that feels stuck?
“My whole life is waiting for the questions to which I have prepared answers.” —Tom Stoppard
What questions do you wish someone would ask you?
The longest part of making yeast bread is that of simply waiting around for the bread to rise. Nothing you can do but let the little yeast critters do their work while you move on with something else. It will be done when it’s done.
What is growing in your life without your needing to do anything to make it happen?
