Waiting: a spiritual
discipline?
Consider that this
psalm offers the experience of waiting as something holy.
Deze psalm reikt de
ervaring van het wachten aan als iets heiligs.
Ce psaume nous offre
l'expérience de l'attente comme une chose sacré.
This is an active waiting – alert, watchful and with all the
senses engaged. A whole being - body, mind and spirit desperate to connect with
the divine Other. We wait in hope, knowing that the Other will come but without
knowing what the full outcome of the encounter will be. Perhaps it is enough
for now to know that it will be with love, forgiveness and acceptance.
In the best
tradition of spiritual disciplines let us today embrace this divine gift of
waiting with hopeful expectation, and to meet those who wait for us as we hope
to be met.
