Abelard's Ghost

This site is not about Peter Abelard per se, but a tribute to his spirit. Abelard was an iconoclastic medieval theologian, philosopher, poet, and celebrity who subverted the dominant paradigms of his day. His affair with Heloise became the greatest romance/scandal in Western history until Shakespeare invented Romeo and Juliet. But Abelard was not invented; he was real. Like Abelard, the comments on this site may intrique, incite, or mystify...and that's okay. Ideas change the world.

Tired of Waiting

I'm tired of waiting.

I’m tired of waiting for
The page to download
The line to move
The light to change
The elevator to open
The mail to come
The kids to get ready
The commercials to be over
The rain to stop
The check to clear
The aspirin to work
The weight to drop
The call to come
The invitation to arrive
The reaper to visit
The trumpet to sound
The real life to start

How long must we sing this song?
I'm so tired of waiting.

--From my favorite poet, Enrique Salazar
