“Just when you felt you had it all together – that pregnant pause of perfect balance, soothing serenity, magical space between thoughts with no interruption or distraction, it suddenly melted away. You used all your mind and soul to bring the pause back, but it eluded you like a drop sinking down a deep well. You asked yourself, “Will I feel this exquisite again?

“Your friend is late getting to the concert, so you tell them not to worry, you’ll hold a place for them. There’s usually a crowd for brunch at a popular restaurant; you tell the family you’ll go on ahead to hold a spot in line.
