Don't Wait

We spend our lives
     waiting.Waiting in line,
     at traffic lights,
    ​for the bus or train to come,
    for our big break.

We wait to be loved,
    to be accepted,
    to be allowed.
We wait for help,
    for guidance,
    for the right time.

We wait for our turn.
    When will it be my turn?

Don’t.
Don’t wait for the right time.
    The right time is now.
    Right now.
Don’t wait for guidance.
    Seek guidance,
    and when you find it,
    share it with others.
Don’t wait for help.
    Offer help.
Don’t wait to be allowed.
    Allow yourself
    to be where you are
    and to do what you need to do.
Don’t wait to be accepted.
    Accept yourself.
    Accept others.
    Accept God and His goodness,
    or the universe and its magic,
    or whatever it is that brings you to your knees.
Don’t wait to be loved.
Show love.

​
Right now, show love.
