Sylvia, thinking for a few seconds 'Mama? There is no tomorrow, there is only today. It never will become tomorrow.'
I had to agree to this statement, at the same time marveling how she got this at 4yo, while I am sure I was more like 7 or 8yo before I got into anything philosophical like that. Heck, I have met grownups who haven't learned yet to embrace the current moment.
For the sake of practicality, I now often modify my statements about tomorrow to 'Today, after you sleep... ' just to not get into a philosophical discussion every time.

I am amazed at how fast she is growing... and she still remembers my name although we only met once every THREE months, or longer.
Once your thesis is done, we'll have to get together WAY more often!
That is so cool. You have a Zen master in the making, so astute and insightful. We could all take a lesson from what she said. I know I use this way of thinking in controlling my temper-be in the moment, in the here and now.
