Your mind loves to live anywhere but now, replaying yesterday, rehearsing tomorrow. Marcus reminded himself that no one loses the past or the future, because you can't lose what you don't have. All anyone ever holds is this passing moment. That's strangely freeing. The mountain of the future shrinks to the single step in front of you. You don't have to carry every coming hour at once. You only have to be here, in this one. When the day feels like too much, it's often because you've stacked all of it onto right now. Set the rest down. This hour is enough to handle, and it's the only one you actually have.

Inspired by the old idea of living in the present. Written by Ugo Charles.
