The watched pot


See? The watched pot DOES boil! 
I suspect it’s not the watching,
 But the impatience that interferes 
With our sense of completion and satisfaction. 
Once we get better at acceptance of what’s now; 
Better at appreciation, 
 Not just of the promise inherent in the boiling, 
But also of the joy in anticipation, 
Pleasure will prove a more constant companion.
