one day at a time is definitely the way to go. As if you are going to live forever in actual practice.
Then, of course, there’s that Bacon quote about an unexamined life not being worth living that needs to be factored in.
And, so living, thoughtfully, with as much consciousness as possible becomes desirable and more satisfying.
Followed by living as empathically and kindly as possible, caring for as many people and animals as possible.
With the latter in mind, I feed the squirrels and birds daily and hope as many wild horses as possible survive destructive Fiona on Sable Island this weekend.
(ps/ Good news. They survived!)
