All In the Present
The sheltering sky
Knows not what is to come,
But what is.
The blazing sun
Lights all that is,
But cannot reach what is not.
The rain from the heavens
Quenches the thirst of all living creatures,
But cannot satisfy those who have not yet came into being.
All of nature lives in the present
And knows naught of the future,
For the present is all that is real
And the future is but a shadow of what is to come.
