The power of “will be”

Is now, and will be forever.
Are now, and will be forever.

Is not now, but will be.
Am not now, but will be.
Have not been, but will be.

Like passengers transferring trains on a busy platform, countless details shift between fixed and moving. Between what was, what is, and what will be.

Part of our challenge is to navigate these spaces without losing heart.

The good and the bad — both can fade away, both can spring anew.

In the meantime, we can (if we choose) be hopeful passengers.
