Play Louis Armstrong

now is all there is, that's the nature of the beast, relatively speaking advantaging 'those' who control time... now is a situation of absence and meaning 'those'...are us and our day to day routines slowing down, to take advantage of the scenery... remember the most wonderful childhood song, 'what a wonderful world' by louis armstrong... well, now is all there is and it is a wonder(full) world...be strong

I adore that beautiful song but can't stop the tears from flowing when I hear it playing. Living in the present doesn't mean not enjoying things from the past that are timeless. Great message Sand! : )
