The Waiting Game

  The hardest part of therapy Is the waiting game For the tests For the results For the doctor For the drip to finish For the next session For all of it to end And then I went to the beach Beautiful day Walked up to the waves And I waited For the waves  to touch my feet Waiting again  I realised Nature cant be rushed The healing process is natural You can take all the medication in the world But your body has to heal by itself Slowly Naturally In its own cool time You have to wait For it to do its thing Just like you wait For a flower to bloom A plant to grow An egg to hatch For the waves to come to you

One time in uni I had to ID myself to the lecturer with name and details because I had cut my hair overnight and the lecturer didn't realise I was a student in his class.  When my son was few months old, I cut my hair very short and you should have seen the look on the his face trying match the face to the voice ! Oh but babies learn quickly unlike the prof and I didn't have to prove anything ! Hungry - milk - go ; don't care what the face looks like .... Lately I have developed two concepts about hair - one is that I cannot see what my hair looks like unless I am standing in front of a mirror.
