“Objects in the rear view mirror may be closer than they appear.” ~ every car sold in America
I make lists for everything, and my favorite lists are those that describe things I want to accomplish. I like to see how they change and grow; I like to reflect on which items I accomplished and which I tossed away and why. When I make these lists, I think that the check-mark next to each is an elusive, distant thing. Sometimes I think my future exists out there somewhere in the ether. I think I’ll see it coming way off in the distance so I can ready myself. So I can prepare. It never works that way. The future resides just over there, only a moment away, never as far away as I imagine. And always more beautiful.
