Meaning
This reads as an exhortation to stop postponing life and meet the present with gratitude. It can be taken to mean that the past cannot be changed and the future cannot be assumed, so the moral task is to act faithfully in the present moment. It lands on a hard day or a fresh start, when someone needs encouragement to focus on what is here rather than what is lost or uncertain.
