The Moment of Now

Tomorrow is not a given; yesterday can't be taken back. Today is your reality; and hope is what keeps you on track. Live within the moment of now; delve into the essence of you. And ask yourself if you're happy; have your wishes and dreams come true? Look deep within your fragile heart; have its wounds festered over time? Or have they been healed by a love that can only be called sublime? Take a break; step outside yourself and see the you that others see. For when you're always performing; you see what you pretend to be. We are but actors on life's stage; roles written by the hand of fate. And, while rehearsing for our parts, it is hard to communicate.

This is so true Emile and I love your reference to Shakespeare in your last stanza, how insightful he was. Your lines: "And have you experienced love that can only be called sublime?" Superb Emile! Missing you today my friend! 7 ; )
