Waiting

We are used to being in control, or at least being prepared for the possible "scenarios" that might be coming our way. However prepared we are, we need to spend some time waiting and that state is incompatable with being in control... Or is it?
Maybe accepting that we can't.. Indeed shouldn't be always in control.. Maybe that acceptance allows to to focus on what we can control.... The wait.
We can wait nervously, anxiously, fearfully, with resignation, impatiently.. Or with dignity and quiet grace.
At my mum's bedside, I'm not finding waiting easy.
