Best of Now

Today seemed brighter than many days, waking up at the same time, doing the same things and leaving at exactly same time save for 5mins difference can become a boring routine. So I always look for something new about the day. It never disappoints. Today seemed brighter and the traffic was easier on my impatient soul...

Of all the things that crowned my morning was the realization that no day is ever the same, everyday is a season a time like no other. The trick is in savoring in its delight, knowing only too well it will sure pass. Good or bad. When a day passes it ceases to be today, it now lives in the past. A 14year old boy of last century- am not sure which years but around 1989 articulated it so well in his poem. It was a poem that appalled many, how could such a young mind think like this! But i say how could it not when all we yearn for is what we don't have and when we have it we desire what we once had and it becomes a hungry cycle of insatiable needs.

And what an eye opener Jason Lehman was in his Poem;

Present Tense

It was spring, but it was summer I wanted,
The warm days, and the great outdoors.
It was summer, but it was fall I wanted,
The colorful leaves, and the cool, dry air.
It was fall, but it was winter I wanted,
The beautiful snow, and the joy of the holiday season.
It was winter, but it was spring I wanted,
The warmth and the blossoming of nature.
I was a child, but it was adulthood I wanted,
The freedom and respect.
I was 20, but it was 30 I wanted,
To be mature, and sophisticated.
I was middle-aged, but it was 20 I wanted,
The youth and the free spirit.
I was retired, but it was middle-age I wanted,
The presence of mind without limitations.
My life was over, and I never got what I wanted.
