This Might Be the Day Before Everything Changes
Every ordinary day has the potential to be the last day with someone -
or just the last day
No day will ever be more meaningful than the day before everything changes. The problem with life is you will not recognize that day until it has passed into the oblivion of memory - once here, now gone, never to be had again.
The day before the accident
The day before you lost a child or a spouse
The day before the breakup
The day before the fire
The day before the cancer diagnosis
The day before the heart attack
The day before a pet passed
The day before a pandemic started
The day before the storm
Days like that seem ordinary. In those precious moments, before everything changes, we rarely notice the sacred rhythm in which the drumbeat of time passes one day into the next, changing the landscape of everything.
Every ordinary day has the potential to be the last day with someone -
or just the last day BUT we lose ourselves in the delusion that this, whatever this is, will last forever-
it will not.
Every ordinary moment has extraordinary power to impact every second of the rest of forever - every second has unthinkable potential for change, and most of us are walking through our borrowed moment either so bored we are numb or intentionally distracted, just passing the time until a tomorrow we think will be the same but is not promised.
Nothing will teach you to live in the moment faster than loss and grief because when they get their grip on you, it feels like quicksand, pressing you into the moment of now that feels intolerably empty and dark. Loss will shake you by the shoulders, yelling into the void in your soul, begging you to remember the small things your busy mind tends to forget.
Raw presence and gratitude will save you from the regret of not savoring the day before everything changed.
Mystics talk about mindfulness because the now is the true and precious only safe place to be.
This moment is the promise of intentions past.
This moment is the fertile soil for the mysteries of tomorrow. It is a magical space in infinity.
No moment is as ordinary as the parts of us that are jaded want to believe.
Do it now.
Do it scared.
Do it poorly if you must.
Be here now.
Be here.
This might be the day before everything changes.
