Arrivals and Arriving

Sometimes I find myself waiting for the new arrivals in my life.

In anticipation, I act as if they have already arrived.

I am inside the experience.

I taste the fruits of my laboring.

I sense the singular successes of my own scripting.

Inevitably, I find myself no longer waiting.

I am in the present tense and always arriving at my destination while welcoming the new arrivals one sumptuous sip at a time.
