curriculum

 
of all people, you were the one who taught me waiting

and after waiting, then to appreciate the state of waiting for itself, without impatience

and after patience, then to slowly, gently forget what is being waited for

and after forgetting, then to understand that nothing was ever lacking, that all was complete and whole from the start

and after wholeness, then to find pleasure in the exact shape of history, the precise unfolding of events without which today would not even exist

and after pleasure, gratitude

and after gratitude, love
