AN ARTIFICIAL FUTURE


5.20.2015


Every month, our plans change - in bad and good ways. All the details I stuff into cells and columns to scrutinize each month - the money we'll make, the food we'll eat, the gifts we'll buy, the places we'll live - nothing is static. Each determined dollar or activity ebbs onto another page, and many are erased.

While the painful process of learning to embrace change has not been welcomed - as everything that is lost cannot necessarily be replaced - I have come to understand that uncertainty often leads to fresh beginnings.

I'm not suggesting for you to stop dreaming or planning, but that you hold each vision with a gentle grip so when little dreams have been ripped up, new beauty is unearthed. Treasure the tiny details of the present before they vanish, savoring sure promises in place of an artificial future.
