Further Thoughts Along the Journey - Verse 20 - To This Day

     How many times during the course of this day do we tarry behind into another moment long past or leap ahead into a future not-yet realized experience neglecting the here and now?

     The precious moments of the present, these fleeting bits of life will never come again, yet when taken together they are life itself.

     Worry and regret and even past joys detract from the wonder of this day.  Each brief moment holding the sustenance and power that fulfills even our smallest need.

     "Look to this day, for it is life. The very life of life.", writes the Sanskrit sage.

     The power of the Tao resides in the now.  With the faith that all is provided brings us to a state of completeness and fulfillment.  Free from striving, we are free to love, appreciate and rejoice in the wonder that life provides... moment by moment.
