As dawn breaks the rush begins.so many things, so many thoughts..I have lost the moment

Where to start, looking ahead, planning, today, tomorrow, next week, I have lost the moment

Remembering when..wondering how..too many demands, I have lost the moment

Life is on fast forward, I run to keep up, stumbling by, missing the mark, and endless circle

I must stop, slowly walk, look around, not too far ahead, or too far back, I must feel the moment, I must live in the moment, or I will have lost the moment..

A small but precious time...time to live in the moment

Sadness ending in courage. Well done.
Indeed, we must always live for the moment, live for today.  For unbeknownst to us tomorrow may never come and our last day on Earth may well be wasted.
It is important to stop, smell, feel, appreciate nature and Earth and all in between.
Wise, encouraging words.. well done  

I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

so true, Deb, but what do you do when the moment is so miserable, and you can only look ahead in order to keep going on?
