Being in the Moment vs Wishing for Something Yet to Come

There's a poetry blog I love, and a few lines I read there yesterday have stayed with me as I struggle through the nausea and exhaustion of early pregnancy, often wishing for the first trimester to be over so feeling so sick will (hopefully) dissipate.

"...I prayed for--a second chance," the lines go. "Not for the world to be different, but for me to lean into wherever I am."
