The Daily Word for April 26, 2021

 

fugacious - adjective - tending to disappear, fleeting


Fugacious is an F-word worth remembering. Like the previously featured "ephemeral" or "evanescent," fugacious involves the passage of time, reminiscent of the adage, "All things must pass." And they do, very quickly. Unless there is much effort to restrain whatever it is that is potentially fugacious–love, friendship, motivation, passion, or interest–it will evaporate entirely. Even though there is loss in progress, you can still move forward, holding onto what is worthwhile along the way. My thing is friendship. I have managed to sustain healthy relationships with friends and family for years. It takes commitment and work, like everything less. Still, the rewards are huge. 

On this Monday, reach out to a friend whom you may find wallowing in the waters and throw that person a life preserver of your time so that that person doesn't float off to become fugacious. 

Enjoy!
