One of the most challenging things in life is to wait without knowing, to entertain the silence between the words, and to feel long periods of painful angst about that which has yet to unfold in one's life. But this is also a time of deep inner expansion for the soul and psyche.
Here are some poignant words from T.S. Eliot for reflection and support:
"I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love,
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing."
T. S. Eliot
The Four Quartets, East Coker
