Thought for the Week
You can never be free
in the future.
You can only be free
in the present.
But take heart—
it’s always the present.

As the existentialists say, we have a statue of liberty on the east coast, but we need a statue of responsibility on the west coast to balance the dialectic. We are indeed free–free to choose to love, make sacrifices, be humble, compassionate, patient, and kind. Thanks, Mitch.

That time is fluid and slippery never ceases to amaze. As soon as a breath is taken we have leapt from past to future but never leave the present!

Hi Mitch! Your wisdom reminds me of Eleanor Roosevelt’s:
“Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That’s why we call it ‘The Present'”
