Tom is right. Waiting is hard.
The great philosopher Tom Petty has written the line that best seems to represent my spirit these days: “The waiting is the hardest part.”
We are waiting for confirmation from the Obama and McCain campaigns about their attendance at The Compassion Forum. It’s hard to sit idly and wait. This event has dominated my life the past five weeks. I even dream about it. I want to know what happens next. And, to take a page from Veruca Salt: I want to know NOW!
