“Yesterday” warrants overuse. We got through yesterday; those of us who are thinking of the word at that moment, that is. Yesterday defines a complete picture, fully completed, recent in our mind. The future as we generally think of it is some void, escaped land without a clear picture. Yesterday is drawn with the colors that were exhumed over the course of its hours. With time, those hues of that far-gone day take on slightly different tones, too. Yesterday gives us context, provides our thoughts that follow outside its bounds with baselines for measurement. Perhaps in forgetting about the question “what’s next?” we can instead take our pile of thoughts and place another step towards a more pleasant path of paces.
