If something is important to you,
attend to it immediately, and regularly.

and blaming someone (often yourself) or something for it.
This doesn't mean you can't hurry when you have to.
It is possible even to hurry patiently, mindfully,
moving fast because you have chosen to.

Our faith gives us knowledge of something better.

the ones that last -
are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship.

suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.
