The Moment of Now

Tomorrow is not a given: yesterdays 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 fantasy dreams come true? Look deep within your hurting heart, have its wounds festered over time? Or have you experienced love that can only be called sublime? Take a break; step outside yourself and see the you that others see. You are constantly performing, playing who you pretend to be. We are but actors on life's stage: roles written by the hand of fate. And busy rehearsing our parts, leaves no time 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 ; )
