Someday

When exactly is “someday”?
If it’s not something you plan to take with you to heaven,
then it’s something you need to open and check while you’re still alive.
We have to keep asking ourselves:
When is that “someday” supposed to happen?
Look straight ahead.
Focus your heart.
Ask yourself honestly.
We say we’ll learn an instrument someday,
publish a book someday,
take dance lessons someday,
go hiking someday…
We carry this long list of “somedays” in our hearts.
But we only carry it.
Even when we nod and say, “I really want to,”
we shake our heads at the words “right now.”
So we ask ourselves again:
When, exactly, is someday?
