We aren’t waiting for a better calendar; we are waiting for an easier feeling. Saying "next time" offers immediate emotional anesthesia, calming our anxiety without fixing the problem. We do not postpone actions—we postpone the heavy emotions attached to them. Once fear is named for what it actually is, it can no longer pretend to be a scheduling conflict. Grace does not require tomorrow to be guaranteed; it simply asks for a willing step today. ----more---- Sound Bites "Tomorrow isn't where we hide our schedule. It's where we hide our fears."
