"To wait means to live the present moment fully. When this happens, the present reveals itself as that which cannot readily be seen through. Waiting may sounds like doing nothing for the present, but it is not an escape from reality. To wait is to hesitate or to unplug, to create a short circuit, and by doing so, delay the automatic judgments which societies, enamored with speed, demands of us."
