The Waiting Amplifies

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Waiting is where stillness builds strength, meditation becomes a pillar and breathing is noticed and not taken for granted.

The waiting room is not a place,

it is a season.

A space where clocks seem broken,

where time moves at an almost still water pace

present, yet unmoving.

You sit. You breathe.

You listen to the hum of unseen decisions

being shuffled behind invisible doors.

Every paper shuffled feels like a wind in the trees,

rustling with answers

you are not yet meant to hear.

Waiting stretches you.

It teaches that surrender is not defeat,

but a kind of quiet strength.

A knowing that love can hold you steady

even when the outcome trembles.

Through the window,

you see clouds piling in the distance.

They are , layered,

behind them the sun keeps burning,

unmoved by delay.

And in the silence,

you remember:

the sun does not rush,

and yet it always arrives.

You whisper love into the air,

not asking it to return,

only asking it to travel,

to find who it needs to reach.

The waiting is heavy,

but the love is light enough to carry.

And not all doors open into light…

The silence is thick, the outcome unseen. Somewhere beyond the door, decisions stir. Tomorrow, absence itself will take its place at the table.

  1. This is a truly profound and beautifully crafted piece. 🌿 The way you describe waiting not as a passive pause but as a season of stillness, strength, and quiet transformation is so powerful. I especially love the imagery of clocks seeming broken and unseen decisions shuffling like wind through trees—it captures both the tension and the hidden sacredness of waiting. Your words remind us that waiting is not wasted time, but a tender space where patience, resilience, and faith are born. 🙏✨

  2. I imagine you in the waiting room stillness, finding these beautiful essays that describe your erupting feelings. You love will travel with the wind, Kerri. May it return to you in a myriad of ways – and may you feel how loved you are by Zac above. And others in your life that appreciate you more than words can say.
