Time seems to behave the opposite of what you’d like: speeding up when you want more of it, and slowing down when you’re eager to get through. It’s the dimension of which we’re the least connected.

It feels as though everyone is stretching towards the holidays, reaching for them. Our world has been full of bad news for a while now, and we’re looking for some respite.

We will get there, but we must not lose a sense of the moment, for the actions we take in the present are what enable a better future. One day, one step, one breath at a time: if we embrace the miracle, we will get there.
