Day 132:

[PROCRASTINATION]

Human wisdom says Don't put off until tomorrow
What can be done the very same day.

But I tell you that he who knows how to put off until tomorrow
Is the most agreeable to God.
He who sleeps like a child
Is also he who sleeps like my darling Hope.

And I tell you to Put off until tomorrow
Those worries and those thoughts which are gnawing at you today.
Put off until tomorrow those sobs that choke you
When you see today's unhappiness.
Those sobs wich rise up and strangle you.
Put off until tomorrow those tears which fill your eyes and your head,
Flooding you, rolling down your cheeks, those tears which stream down your cheeks.

Because between now and tomorrow, maybe I, God, will have passed your way.

Human wisdom says Woe to the man who puts off what he has to do until tommorrow.
And I say Blessed is he who puts off.
That is to say Blessed is he who hopes.
And who sleeps.

(Charles Peguy, from "The Portal of the Mystery of Hope")
