We really don't need provisions for the future because we can only live in the present. And the assumption that the future will one day become the present is really presumption. And even if tomorrow does come, it quite often shows up dressed differently than the way we saw it in our minds yesterday. All we need is what we need right now and worrying about the future costs us enjoyment of and gratitude for the present. So I choose to bask in the blessings of the moment and take life one step at a time.
Some people present themselves like jellyfish.
Instead of being definite and solid about their feelings and beliefs and desires they sort of drift up to you in an ambiguous way. You reach out to grasp them and they float away. You can see the mass but you cannot touch the substance. This floating away from a true offering of ourselves robs us of the power to love and of the opportunity to receive it. And yet, the true tragedy lies not in our weaknesses but in the idea that somehow by our own strength and wiles we can overcome them.
