So often we try to borrow trouble from tomorrow.  We tell ourselves not to, and the next thing you know, we're back at it again, trying to analyze today in light of a perceived tomorrow.  It gets us nowhere but conflicted, confused, and worried.

And we remind ourselves of the importance of living for today.

So we do.

And then today is no longer enough.  We yearn for tomorrow, plan for tomorrow, wish today was any other day than today.  In learning to live for today, we found peace.  But that peace is no longer enough.  It's not enough at all, because we have already begun to write today's hope onto tomorrow.  And today becomes a burden as we wait for tomorrow.

And then there are the days when today is not at all enough.  When today is pain and sorrow and longing.  When tomorrow represents our only hope.  We cannot live for today, because today is void, today is pain.  It is in those days when we must live for tomorrow.  

If only we could balance these extremes...the perfect management of time would be heaven indeed.
