The Art Of Waiting


“Okay, everyone.  Listen up.”  Bill said to the crowd waiting in the café, which doubled as the area’s bus terminal.  “The 940 bus from Duluth, scheduled to be here at eleven, is delayed.”

Groans could be heard from several of the customers waiting to board the bus when it stopped on its way to St. Paul.

“ Quiet down.  It’s simply a flat tire.  Ed will have it changed in no time and we will get you on your way.”

Around the room people turned back to their tables signaling for more coffee well versed in the art of waiting.
