“The sun came up about as often as it went down, in the long run, and a coin showed heads about as often as it showed tails. Then a messenger arrived. We had been sent for. Nothing else happened. Ninety-two coins spun consecutively have come down heads ninety-two consecutive times . . . and for the last three minutes on the wind of a windless day I have heard the sound of drums and flute. . . .”
—Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead
This week, write about waiting. Consider anticipations, surprises, expectations, discoveries, devastations, elations, events, timelines, time scales (day, decades, moment, lifetimes?), related to:
Something I waited for and got.
Something I waited for and never got.
Something I’m waiting for now.
Something I would never wait for.
Something I didn’t wait for.
p.s. Monday posts return this Monday! Have a great weekend :)
