At This Very Moment You Only Have Today "Let not the opportunity pass for it may not return."...Kuai Tong/Han Dynasty. You don't always get what you want in this life. You mess things up or they mess things up or it was only good for a season or it wasn't meant to be. In every opportunity there are many possibilities, you have choices and they have choices, anything that is reasonable is feasible when it comes to two agreeing. Still tomorrow comes rapidly and thats why some say take advantage of today; you may have hopes and dreams for tomorrow and possess memories of yesterday but at this very moment you only have today. "If we do not enjoy ourselves today, the days and months will pass us by." Book of Songs/ Zhou Dynasty. JamesLee 03December 2012 |

Ha, James, you're absolutely right ... and this philosophical piece right on the money. And I re-posted a piece (Choices) just now that brings the, more or less, physical aspect of it to mind...a piece I'd totally forgotten until I read "At The Very Moment You Only Have Today" Enjoyed our visit, my friend... j. |
