I believe I am drowning in this deepness of your words! So well expressed, this cinquain expands my mind and forces me to dwell on what I just read... love it when that happens! I know because it's a kids movie, one wouldn't think it to be profound... but have you ever watched that scene in Kung Fu Panda where the Turtle speaks up saying "Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, and today is a gift... that's why they call it the present"...? I've always loved that part!
