Say that each day is a beautifully baked loaf of bread. Twenty-four hours, fresh every day.
Who gets the first bite?
Prayer? The cultivation of solitude? The creation of something generous? Attention to our dearest relationships? Nature? Physical health?
The demands of work? Internet platforms that sell your attention to advertisers? Obsessive worry?
We rarely have the ability to control our days. We often have the ability to choose what gets the first bite of our time.
