Everyone is just waiting

This is how I feel right now. Like I'm in this waiting place, waiting for life to start happening in a more meaningful way. Here's an excerpt from one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books Oh! The Places You'll Go!

From Oh! The Places You'll Go!
by Dr. Seuss

You can get so confused that you’ll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.

The Waiting Place…for people just waiting.

Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come,
or a plane to go or the mail to come,
or the rain to go or the phone to ring,
or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls,
or a pair of pants or a wig with curls,
or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.
