#Fiction Monday (148) - The waiting optionsOptiunile asteptarii

This game is hosted by Vinitha Dileep, on her blog  'Reflections' and
I discovered it on Esha's  blog. This time  the  word prompt is 'WAIT'.

"Nu astepta prea mult. Viata are cotituri
spectaculoase si nu avem mereu timpul pe
care credem ca il avem".

I've written before about waitings and about 'unwaitings', even though I don't think
there is this word. In principle, I never liked waiting. It is a kind of lost time, mentally
assumed. However, there are also waitings of wonderful events, the consequences of which
it will practically transform our lives. There are also waitings for the completion of some experiments, that we do not know how they will evolve. And then they are full of emotion
and curiosity, to see if what we thought it becomes a certainty or on the contrary, we will
have to change the input data of the experiment, enriching our experiences of  'not so'!
But a lot of waitings are not good. During their course, different scenarios appear, projected towards the future, fueled by past emotions and memories, which solve practically nothing
and even complicate the present so much, that it becomes impossible to think of a clear
solution, if we would need a solution. We lose some precious time that could be more
beneficially fructified.
For example, through a kind of 'waiting meditation', during which we empty our minds
and accept the silence that surrounds us. Or simply realize an 'active waiting', because
there are so many things to do around...😊
Even though in my style, I greatly simplified this idea and deliberately avoided writing
about those waitings whose end burden us with sadness, I want to resume an older idea
about which I  feel in the same way today:

It took me millions of seconds to feel... the silence of the unwaiting. To understand that not waiting anything means something special, which I need sometimes. To be able to move
forward, to dream, to "see" better the unseen. Or to see the horizon. And even to sort out
my useless thoughts that blur the important ones!

"Rabdarea nu este abilitatea de a astepta,
ci abilitatea de a pastra o buna atitudine
in timp ce astepti".

Am mai scris despre asteptari, chiar si despre 'neasteptari' , chiar daca acest cuvant
nu stiu daca exista. In principiu asteptarea nu mi-a placut niciodata.
Este un fel de timp pierdut, mental asumat.
Sunt insa si asteptari ale unor evenimente minunate, ale caror urmari ne transforma
practic viata. Sunt si asteptarile finalizarii unor experimente ce nu stim cum vor
evolua. Si atunci ele sunt pline de emotie si curiozitate, pentru a vedea daca ceea ce
gandeam devine certitudine sau dimpotriva, vom fi nevoiti sa schimbam  datele de
intrare ale experimentului, imbogatindu-ne si experientele de 'asa nu'!
Insa foarte multe asteptari  nu fac bine. Pe parcursul lor apar diferite
scenarii, proiectate spre viitor, hranite din emotii si amintiri trecute, ce nu rezolva
practic nimic, ba chiar complica prezentul atat de mult, incat devine imposibil
sa gandim o solutie limpede, daca am avea nevoie de o rezolvare. Pierdem un timp
pretios care ar putea fi mai benefic fructificat.
De exemplu, printr-un fel de 'meditatie a asteptarii', pe parcursul careia sa ne
golim mintea si sa acceptam linistea ce ne cuprinde. Sau pur si simplu sa realizam
o 'asteptare activa', pentru ca sunt atat de multe lucruri de facut prin preajma...😊
Chiar daca in stilul meu am simplificat foarte mult aceasta idee si am evitat voit
sa scriu despre acele asteptari al caror final ne incarca de tristete, vreau sa reiau o
idee mai veche pe care o simt la fel si astazi:

Mi-au trebuit milioane de secunde ca sa ajung sa simt... linistea neasteptarii.
Sa inteleg ca a nu astepta nimic inseamna ceva special, de care uneori am nevoie.
Pentru a putea merge inainte, pentru a visa, pentru a "vedea" mai bine nevazutul.
Sau orizontul. Si chiar pentru a-mi tria gandurile inutile care le incetoseaza
pe cele importante!

"Sa asteptam inspiratia este ca si cand am sta
in aeroport asteptand un tren".
