a new normal...

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-R. Frost


You can't be certain of anything in life.
What is here today could be gone tomorrow.
Nothing is guaranteed.
I am slowly learning that nothing should be take for granted,
that everything should be held loosely,
that you need to appreciate what things are now.
If you're waiting to see what it will be tomorrow,
you're missing the point completely.

...You do not know what will happen tomorrow.
For what is your life?
It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
(James 4)

What I knew yesterday is a stranger to me today.
Nothing gold can stay.
