This day, this number on the calendar, has been standing in line between yesterday and tomorrow patiently waiting to pass through my life like the shadow of a dream. As the day draws to a close it will draw a new wrinkle on my face to create the illusion of time and within minutes now it will be gone. Though I will not know where it went ...or why. Ida Werrett |

Very profound, dear Ida. Being aware of the moment, which is the only time we really have, doesn't exclude our wondering ... This Day, this moment, we are connected and I send you a big hug. Love, Margherita |

There really is only the here and now, today. The sun is up and there is beauty everywhere I look. The Good Lord is generous with her gifts. Thanks for this, Ms. Madness~ |

Time keeps marching on, It moves through us like a cold wind, And ours will be gone long before we’re ready, You have to make time, To take time, To enjoy the time you have made. WTBAKELAR |
