Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I’ve taken for granted. When you feel that this may be the good-bye, the last time, it hits you harder.

Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present at all.

There’s a reason they call God a presence - because God is right here, right now. In the present is the only place to find Him, and now is the only time.

We seem to be going through a period of nostalgia, and everyone seems to think yesterday was better than today. I don’t think it was, and I would advise you not to wait ten years before admitting today was great. If you’re hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time.
