You spend an extraordinary amount of time everywhere, except exactly where you are.
Your mind replays conversations from years ago, rehearses arguments that may never happen, and sprints ahead to a future that doesn’t yet exist. You re-live fears from your past and project your fears in the future.
Meanwhile, life, the real, tangible, breathing experience of it, is happening quietly ben...
