When I was in Australia I spent a lot of time thinking about my future. I had a dream I followed. Then I received another dream, a better one that I’m working on now. There’s a lot of preparation involved, but there are so few movements in the lifetime of this heart that I can’t turn my back on them. Oftentimes we let head rule heart making bodies work like serfs to indentured banality. We hang our hopes on the day we’ll “be able to” do what we want, but why not right now?

We are never satisfied with the present because it seemingly doesn’t hold the mystery and hope of the future nor is it as good as the knowns of the past. It simply is itself, and so too often we waste it. This present.

This season of gifting reminds me once again about this gift that we’ve all been given.
