waiting is universal spanning time in life from 2am to 2pm we sit, we stand, we rest time moves slower when we wait sometimes, we wait so l o n g we miss the moment and find that we're waiting for the next one --------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Sven...you are the master of the moment, of the thought which has escaped...of the next thought which looms over the horizon... This is right on the mark... |

Always the fountain of knowledge you are John... time moves slower when we wait always the truth.... loved this pausing rendition of you... Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

I know what you mean my friend....I think I've missed a couple of the second ones.... Gosh, I hope there's a bus load of them coming along. In the meantime I'll wait.....Lord I hate waiting! I think you mentioned that, sort of, didn't you? Good stuff Sven! |

Very good...but I think that I'm getting better at capturing the moments...it takes a clear mind...and fresh desire...a cleaning out of the closet so to speak...James |

Oh how true this is. And you are right, missing and waiting feel much the same. And neither of them do us any good, I guess. Profound, as always. Sandra |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Sven, this is so saddening indeed to know so many of our youth today who long for a miracle to come but fail to realize the joy around at the present and miss out on so much! (sigh) This is very powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

And the more moments we miss, the slower time seems to move and the longer the wait seems to be. *S* I like this, Sven. *S* [This message has been edited by suthern (06-20-2002 03:47 PM).] |

Okies..I've been bad. I've been reading your work and not replying as much as I should. These should be read, Sven Pen. Did I mention I love this? How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |

I'll take the time to think on these thoughts of yours. Rings with some truth, rushing from place to place, only to wait some more... for the next time. Deb |
