The past can't see you, but the future is listening. ~Terri Guillemets

There is no school for this

no pop quiz 

nor multiple choice 

for you to pencil in the answer

no

you can't get the info on line

nor read it from a text book

no preparation is provided 

you just have to learn as you go 

Life is like that

experience is a wild horse

that you have to ride hard to earn

and falling is only a bonus

that the future will reward

no saddle needed just make sure

you have your boots

thick jeans

and an open heart.

In the Blink of an Eye

It is said that the present is pregnant with the future.  ~Voltaire

The Present is the Inheritance of Now

"A day is Eternity's seed, and we are its Gardeners."  ~Erika Harris

If only we could grow time like corn in a field...

for it does seem that time has wings of its own...

and it wrinkles all in its path...

...but what a beautiful ride that it is...

...and at times it can be confusing and seem to spiral out of our grasp...



 then pieces seem to get lost along the way...

 and focus all we may the clock keeps ticking at the same pace...

as time ripples outward to tomorrow from yesterday...

yet, no matter how you look at it...time stops for no one,

so listen to the words of dear Emily who said:

"Forever is composed of nows."  ~Emily Dickinson

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
