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. :)
“Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage which we did not take, towards the door we never opened, into the rose-garden. My words echo thus, in your mind. But to what purpose?” — T.S. Eliot, “Burnt Norton” (Part I)
“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

and your smile abandons you,
I will give you mine.”
