Waiting on the next thing is a great place to recover from the past and store up for the future, just being still, quiet and empty of all thoughts and emotions. How long has it been? How still, quiet and empty can you be? For how long? What drives you to noise? Complexity? Drama? Get to the bottom of it. See what's there. What does thinking about what you think about keep you from thinking about? Realization is possible apart from thinking. Things come out of nowhere to those who are still, quiet, empty enough long enough. That is what the Native American vision quests were all about. Being still enough, quiet enough, empty enough, long enough to realize what our psyche has to say to us all along the way. Our psyche is a resource we would do well to access on a regular basis. Tuning out to tune in, making ourselves available to realizations beyond rational thought. Meditatively making ourselves available to psychic resources throughout the day every day. I wonder why no one has ever thought of that. And why more of us don't do it.
