Possession is temporary even when paperwork says otherwise.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Paper says permanent; time says otherwise. Everything you own is on loan from wear, from circumstance, from the simple fact that you will not always be here to own it. That is not gloom, it is proportion. It loosens the grip a little and lets you enjoy things instead of guarding them.

Use what you are saving for a better occasion. The good dishes, the good pen, the good jacket kept in the closet for a day that keeps not arriving. Deciding that today counts is one of the cheapest improvements available to you.
