Midnight

It is midnight, that moment between yesterday and today and i sit here with a choice to make: Do i ponder yesterday, find some musing about where i have been, or do i consider tomorrow and think about where i am going?
Initially i find that i am left floating in between because i ponder something other than this moment. Remembering and planning has a time and when it is to be, it is best done firmly in the now. Should i reconsider yesterday, i must do it from this moment--not dwell in some lost opportunity wearing heavy regret nor recalling some great triumph in which to rest--no, the considering must be the action of the moment...and if i plan tomorrow, perhaps even try to figure out the way events will unfold and line contingencies for each variable, it must again be the action of this moment and not some living in tomorrow which i carelessly (and all too easily) exchange for living in the now. This moment. This midnight.
Peace
