Excerpt: "When I noticed myself trying to peek into the future to see if I could find a time when I could relax, I realized that I was giving myself over to an old way of being with life.

A way that sort of waits to live, waits to enjoy, waits to relax, waits to be satisfied, waits to feel like everything is okay.

A way that is constantly setting the table for a meal that we never actually sit down to eat.

We just keep setting the table.

So, when I caught myself in this reactive cycle of waiting to be present until a set of pre-described and self-determined circumstances are met, I was most of the way back Here."
