This makes SO much sense and is refreshing to read. We are harangued by the wellness industry/community/whatever to remain in the present despite the impossibility of negotiating modern life. As though we can live without, as the author says, consideration for the future. I would add, honoring and having compassion for the past without letting it stain the present. All three are possible and necessary.
Reading this, I found myself remembering something a former boss once told me — keep your sails up so you can catch the wind the moment it comes, because it might come suddenly.
Whether the wind comes, and when, isn't ours to decide. The only thing we can decide is to keep the sails up. Not holding on to certainty, but staying ready to ride whatever arrives — that's what your piece seemed to echo for me.
An absolute honor to be able to contribute to your page. Thank you for the opportunity!
A great kickoff for this series. Thanks, @Dr. Landon Eggleston
