Waiting has made us watchful. We look for signs. Signs that the waiting is worthwhile, signs that we need to change course, signs that we need to keep steady.
Some cultures think a praying mantis can direct a child home, point toward Mecca or even raise the dead. We just hope it means good luck.
The day we listed the house we found a praying mantis perched on the front porch. Last Saturday I found one in front of the store. And that night as we sat on the back porch with cigars and port, I saw a shooting star.
Quick! Make a wish.
