LINGER
Yes, some people linger.
To buy or not to buy the # 4
or the # 6 meal at the fast food
counter. Wait! Maybe I should
get two scoops of ice cream,
butter pecan and rum raisin.
Then I can sit outside and watch
the world go by – slowly.
I’ve
been rushing around too fast
lately. Maybe by
just lingering,
so and so will talk to so and so
and I’ll be more at peace with
both of them. Listening
works
better when we wait for the
other to tell us what’s really
happening. Maybe they know.
Maybe they know why the
other is lingering
– why they
are waiting – and maybe this
virus will bring us some new
life as it is really lingering.
life as it is really lingering.
