May 28 Med...
To self: Today, be mindful of Today.

We worry don't we? About the future. About things we can't control. About our children and their children. About what others think.
Think about today. Be in the moment. Consider the next five to ten minutes as your future. It doesn't mean you have to dwell on it, but instead, sortof let the future come to you. Perhaps even be less in control, or controlling of others.
That little inner-voice which I perceive as God, will speak...that is if we just listen.
He, or She, knows.

         Worry Not*
      by D. A. Brooks

What holds the morrow
   when light makes way
   And shadows say,
   "Good day, old friend. Good day."

What worries we
   are want to see
   to touch, to stray
   from us today. All day. Each day.

Our senses take
   hold, us to break
   our spirits weaken, 
   He sees our beacon. Him we're seeking.

Free us from all
   concern is our flaw
   at times most vulnerable
   Worries innumerable. Forgettable.

So allow to forget
   without much regret
   and think on the now
   on this be my vow. Too, thou vow.

"We know what we are, but know not what we may be."
      - William Shakespeare

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.
      - H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Matthew 6:34...
Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

It was an error on my part, and for that I apologise. I must have been half asleep not notice the poetry is a part of the blog. Once again, I apologise.
