Just try your best to splice this upcoming day together one piece at a time…..one step at a time…..one thought at a time…..one breath at a time…..one heartbeat at a time…..if that is what you have to do to survive it. Never get too far out ahead of yourself. Don’t take shortcuts with time. The next moment is all that really matters, and then the one after that, followed by the one after that, the one after that, et al. Lives are led sequentially, and we cannot hopscotch from one day to the next without experiencing all the moments in between first; there is no condensed version of living. But come to think of it: Why on Earth would anyone pine for such an asinine thing anyway?! Condensing time, and with it one’s life, is as ill-conceived as condensing your favorite recipe for chocolate-chip cookies.
