It can never be a long time ago.
In Ireland for some reason, I have been very tempted to live in the not now. To live in the past. Pondering my childhood, recent years, the current life I have left, and even the first 2 months of the Race. Not sure where all this pondering is coming from. Also, the thoughts of what is coming next after the Race have been seeded. Will it be grad school, or teaching, or working? Will it be back to something familiar, or onto something completely different and new? Now answers… just ponderings. The Lord has always been faithful- even in the hard times, even in the dark times. Ever faithful. So I trust Him with the past… He can use it to speak to me or teach me. I trust Him with the future. It’s always been good to some degree… I trust that it will be again. And thus I am left to live in the Now.
Now is here in Galway Ireland.
Now is about a beautiful day off and time alone and little waterfalls behind me. Now is about the wind in the trees and the fast moving clouds and the Chim chim cheree rooftops ahead of me. Now is about living the Irish way and forgetting my raincoat this morning. Now is about 2 roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. Now is the sound of seagulls and swans.
