Some of life's most important moments rarely announce themselves. They arrive quietly, in an ordinary morning, a familiar conversation, a walk that feels unremarkable or a day that seems merely routine. Yet while people wait for something better to happen, the present keeps moving, carrying with it moments that will never return.
American poet Elizabeth Bishop captured that tension between anticipation and awareness in a striking observation: “Hoping to live days of greater happiness, I forget that days of less happiness are passing by.”
