Not wishing away the time

Not wishing away the time

Here, we are in the indeterminate middle. Not summer, not winter, and not even ripe autumn.

This is the time when we make a deliberate decision not to wish away the days until…

Because until never comes.

Instead, we have today.

And this day is sufficient.

Pause. See differently. Re-story…

~ Our personal circumstances can be challenging, and sometimes, I want to not have to struggle all the time. Then I look up and see something like this, and I am grateful to be here—now.
