there is no perfect time, no perfect plan.
a perfect time to fall in love does not exist. a perfect time for a career will not come. the perfect time for children is not a schedule-able event. the perfect time to sit on the porch and stare at the moon is now.
now is the best time to discover and use your talents, to tell someone that they are a most amazing person, to look into a child's eyes and know unconditional love.
a good friend lost his wife and best friend last night. they learned she was sick one week ago.
i don't have children and i know that they say losing a child is unlike any grief i could know.
but i know love. i know the complicated weave of a life with someone who is part of a full and joyful heart.
i have written this many times: life is not a dress rehearsal.
there is only now.
Being "present" in the present is one of my greatest challenges. Thanks for the reminder <3
