Before the moment
The moment isn’t the moment. It’s what came before.
If you worry at the moment, it’s already too late. If you live everything for the moment, you miss it too.
Good moments aren’t planned. The conditions are.
You don’t show up ready. You show up as you already are.
That’s why Christmas works.
Because it isn’t built in a day. It’s built in the days before.
Merry Christmas.
