Waiting (15)
Life Is no waiting game for me.Life is what each of us makes it.Every minutes counts so we should live the best way we can.Yes, everything is a loan or i should say everything is a gift or a burden(as life for some is great and for some not an easy road).No matter what ,we are here living this life and we should enjoy it ,give more and recieve as well.We should give the best we can of ourselves.Seing it as a waiting game will only make our life boring and waiting until God takes it back will make it unbearable.So to end it I say life is now today, live it like it is your last day do things now ,say the nice words to the people you care about now.....and dont let i minute go by without thanking God for this gift called life.
Life is our thoughts......we are what we think we are
Life is our thoughts......we are what we think we are

Enjoy the distractions while you wait and be thankful you were brought into the waiting room,it,s a very nice interesting room.
Sungod: I totally agree!!!!
I had a dream that I was alive once - but it was only a dream!
Elley: Life is a waiting room and everything we do is a mere distraction, magazines on the coffee table.
Every attempt at communication is phatic and acts to stop us from thinking too much about the true nature of the human condition.
It is also an attempt to understand experiences, is this how life is for you ?
We own nothing. Everything is on loan. The big house,flash car...it,s only yours for a time.No pockets in a shroud.
God gives out good fortune in small parcels,then takes it all back in one go (Shakespeare.King Lear).

No-one can take back what belongs to them in the first place. And everything we got is realy only On Loan anyway - something to remember with our children, other family members, friends, ...... they could be returned at any moment, so enjoy them while you got them ... !... As Nina said, "This too shall pass".
Why do we all seem to have the feeling that life here is transitory.... that there is a Bigger Story Somewhere Else? Is this a "proving ground" of some sort?

Oh my gosh, Elley!!!
When I was much younger and could afford to be profoundly miserable, I wrote a great big short story based on this idea of life being like time in a waiting room. Distractions, etc.....
A couple of years later, I came across a book called "The Executioner" by a guy called Par Largerkvist.
The bas8ard had gone and stolen my idea Decades!!! before I'd even thought of it!!!
As far as owning anything.... Christ!! We don't even own our eyes and hands.....
Elley: You are right Smokey, this is it, the big one,enjoy it whilst you can.
I don't really ever know what I believe, but I have Never believed that this is it.

Pär Lagerkvist - Swedish author.(Just another piece of trivial trivia for your collection.)

Ahem...I think maybe Samuel Becket beat both of you with Waiting for Godot. Read up on the Theatre of the Absurd.
Elley: Ahem...I think maybe Samuel Becket beat both of you with Waiting for Godot. Read up on the Theatre of the Absurd.
Ahem.....
I read Waiting for Godot in my early 20's.
Also read Murphy, The Expelled and other novellas and the trilogy: Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable. One of these books I remember didn't have sentences and hardly any paragraphs.
I don't remember the analogy being quite that clear, if it existed in WFG......
Would go to my shelf and check, but frankly I wouldn't touch Beckett again with a 50ft pole....

Hey Breezee....Re WFG, even the title shouts the idea out loud and clear. The whole idea of the play is to express the idea that life is just a waiting game, waiting for god/whoever to bring salvation/damnation, in the meantime......
As for touching Becket with a fifty foot bargepole, you,d be pushed, been dead for years.

Think he got fed up waiting

I'm thinking of writing another short story called "Waiting for the Breeze"
Bye for now
