<b>Anticipation<br />By Tammy Rice<p /> Bubbling excitement just below the surface,<br /> Possibilities trying to push through,<br /> Up from the depths,<br /> Out towards the light,<br /> Like the first daffodil of Spring.<p /> All it takes is the smallest of openings,<br /> Unseen to the naked eye,<br /> But felt deep in the heart,<br /> Setting in perfect harmonious motion,<br /> The magical coming together of mind, body, and spirit.<p /> The path is not planned out,<br /> It unfolds, slowly, one step at a time,<br /> through both obvious and discrete developments,<br /> requiring an open mind, yet quiet vigilance,<br /> so a turn is not missed, or a hidden treasure unfound.<p /> Aahhh. . . the anticipation of the journey,<br /> No expectations, no disappointments,<br /> Just pure and simple delight of what lies ahead,<br /> Around the next bend, over the horizon,<br /> The true joy of being, in the moment, now, today.</b> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a
