IT CAME TO PASS

     The days are getting longer already and winter is passing away. I used to think a year was an eternity, that a summer was forever, and that whatever was happening was here to stay. But nothing stays in the end. Everything passes. Days, weeks, months, years- in a flash, they are gone.
     The tragedy is that we spend so much of our time wanting to get to the other side of things. We can't wait for the future to come and relieve us of our present-day burdens. We can't wait until this happens or that happens- until we are grown up, married, parents, grandparents, retired, famous, whatever it may be. We miss our moments right here and right now longing for what is yet to come.

I enjoy the taste and the texture of this day. It's one-of-a-kind.
