The beginnings and endings of things are always where we linger. What was and what is to be. Looking ahead or looking behind. Beginnings and endings make wonderful stories. Every great “Once upon a time” always found “The end.”
In proper context, call those poles anxiety and regret. The tendency to always worry about what’s ahead: anxiety. The tendency to always fret repercussions of what previously occurred: regret. All the while we ignore where the sweetness truly lives; the tendency to always enjoy the very moment in which we live: presence.
