OPEN SPACE

"What we're waiting for now is male rain. Big, booming, wait-till-your-father-gets-home cloudbursts that bully up from Mexico and threaten to rip the sky."
~ Barbara Kingsolver ~

Waiting for an answer is open space-
It could be a yes, or it could be a no,
And as long as we're waiting both possibilities remain...
Which creates tension-
What if imaginings... 
Fear...
Excitement...
And then all of that bubbling energy
Stops 
as soon as the answer 
Comes.
It shifts to the new energy
of 
Next step excitement 
or
Acceptance
that it's
Done.

I suffer from attachment to outcomes that may or may not play out.
