From a Hospital Waiting Room

Waiting room, silence broken by hushed whispers. Outside, the sky hangs heavy and grey over the red brick buildings. His big hand is warm, he curls his fingers around mine and squeezes. A small gesture that speaks volumes. She comes with clipboard and calls his name. He gets to his feet and quickly leaves the room. Silence resumes.

"Don't say this is good and that is bad. Drop all discrimination. Accept everything as it is." - Osho

Observations from a routine appointment at the local hospital today. I wrote them as three separate stones, but they became one here. :-)

Thank goodness routine. I felt the hush reading it.

So glad it was routine. I felt a pang of concern until reading comments. Wonderful day to you, Susannah.

Isn't it wonderful when things come together and make a whole? Am also glad it was routine. Had me concerned when you ended with resuming silence. Then read the quote. Good one, Susannah,
