These words have provided me a lot of comfort recently, whenever time starts to apply its familiar pressure:

Moment follows moment: in traveling, in waiting, in enduring. Build on a moment, a small thing, one small thing at a time. Perhaps these small things will accumulate, perhaps not. But a small thing is better than no thing, between nothing and even the smallest thing a great thing can begin. Between nothing and another nothing no thing can begin. Let me be open to some small thing in this moment. 

Sometimes, through weariness or discouragement, no new thing arises. Sometimes, through pressure and anxiety, many old things overwhelm. Learn to wait, for the stirring or for the subsiding. Learn to wait, for the turmoil to be still, for the stillness to speak. Let memory recall times of taking refuge, times of setting forth anew. Bring to mind times of comfort or times of purpose. You have passed this way before. You have left markers along the way — look for them. Go back to where you were, begin again. Do not lament lost time. There is always time. Time need not be measured out. Time need be neither spent nor wasted. Time is for living, and that is enough.
