We can plan for what we think might come next or panic about what we fear will be visited upon our lives. We can even choose to do both. But if our focus and our energies rush ahead, how can we steer through our current terrain?

What will we miss when we refuse to acknowledge the joys and sorrows currently surrounding us?

The future cries out for our plans. Small wisdoms hidden in our fears yearn for consideration. Our lives beg to be lived.
