"Be in the Moment"

"Be in the Moment"

What a sentiment. We're told this all the time.
Its worthy.
Its bromide.
It grants acceptance and peace

But 'be in the moment' can be a prison if you don't like where you are.
Its oubliette.

You must dream of tomorrow, too.
And of yesterday.

Carpe diem.
Seize the day.
