Rabia J. Baig

Look well to this day, for it is life, the very life of life.  In it lies all the realities and verities of existence: the bliss of growth, the glory of action, splendor of beauty.  For yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow only a vision.  But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.  Look well, therefore, to this day, for it and it alone is life!  Such is the salutation of the dawn.

- Sanskrit Proverb  

I love staying up till the crack of dawn; I get to hear birds chirp at dawn and I get to watch the sun rise.  :)  

I heard thunder a few minutes ago; a thunderstorm would be amazing right about now.  :)

“Hope”

Hope is the thing with feathers 
That perches in the soul, 
And sings the tune—without the words, 
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard; 
And sore must be the storm 
That could abash the little bird 
That kept so many warm.

I’ve heard it in the chillest land, 
And on the strangest sea; 
Yet, never, in extremity, 
It asked a crumb of me.

- Emily Dickinson
