‘The action of staying where one is or delaying action until a particular time or until something else happens.’ This is what we recognise as ‘waiting.’
Through ‘waiting’ we may or may not recognise what we are or are not doing. The process of making a cup of tea, from the preparation, the ‘waiting’, and then the drinking the cup of tea can be a representation of our lives and ‘waiting’ to achieve our lives achievements.
The kettle can be seen as a representation of us, our lives. For what feels like the never ending boil, until self-satisfaction. Our lives achievements, finally allowing ourselves a well deserved cup of tea. But first, the ‘waiting’ must commence, we must find out what it is that we are waiting for.
We must play the waiting game.
While we are doing that, I think a cup of tea is in order.
