Neglect
The problem with living a full life is that something
must be neglected. That is the secret. What to shove
aside while another thing grapples with your attention
changing the batteries in the fire alarm, applying for
a teaching position, buying that extra chair for your
dining room table, repainting that flaking back door
taking her to that restaurant that she mentioned two
or three times, telling her that you love her, reaching
out for no reason and taking her hand into your own.
