What You Can Spend Right Now

Spend the afternoon. You can't take it with you.

The afternoon is currency that expires at sunset. You cannot save it, cannot defer it, cannot convert it to something safer. This is not tragedy. It is permission. When you notice yourself rationing the day, holding back attention or time as if there will be surplus, you are already poor. The only wealth available is the one you spend completely, the breath you take now, the single task your hands can actually touch.
