I need neither future nor past, but to learn to take today not too fast. 

~Jeb Dickerson

Yesterday is a vanilla ice cream cone

it has already melted

picking it up now will be an unnecessary mess

Tomorrow is an apple from the tree

that is not quite ripe enough for eating

so do not worry over picking it now

Today is a prime rib steak dinner

it is hot and ready to serve

chew it slow and enjoy!

The Wings of Uncertainty

"Madness is the result not of uncertainty but of certainty."

~Frederich Nietzsche

Sometimes having some semblance of control of what happens in our lives is like a loosed canary from an open cage, we have it for a moment and once it escapes our hold, it could again light upon our finger or cross our path eventually, but we must face the fact that like a free bird we might never truly capture it within our grasp once more.
