Joy and Freedom On Demand
My absolute favorite Dr. Suess book is Oh, The Places You’ll Go! Right smack in the middle of the story is a description of…
“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.”
