    You crossed oceans of time to arrive at this hour.
    But when the moment opened its arms —
    you were elsewhere.

    In the future.
    In your head.
    In the noise.

    So the kiss was soft, but you missed it.
    The mountain sang, but you were scrolling.
    The child reached out, but your heart was closed.

    Why?

    Because you packed your bags,
    but not your soul.
    You chose the destination,
    but not the way of being.

    The wise ones say:
    Before stepping into the next chapter,
    bow to the threshold.
    Ask the wind how to walk.
    Ask your breath how to listen.
    Ask your heart what it longs to feel.

    This is not planning.
    This is preparing the altar of your presence.

    To prepare for an experience
    is to love it before it begins.

    Tie your shoes like it’s sacred.
    Greet the morning like it knows your name.

    Set no goals.
    Light no fireworks.
    Just arrive completely.

    And when you do —
    even a sip of tea becomes eternity.
    Even the smallest hour glows.

    What part of you still needs to arrive fully as you are?
