Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

Faith is not contrary to the usual ideas, something that turns out to be right or wrong, like a gambler's bet: it's an act,
an intention, a project, something that makes you, in leaping into the future, go so far, far, far ahead that you shoot clean
out of time and right into Eternity, which is not theend of time or a whole lot of time or unending time, but timelessness,
the old Eternal Now.

Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to
ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.

History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history
that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today.

Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season.
It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year.
It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow.
Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime.

Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy'd the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought, to have done…

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow
partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us
backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.

Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a
succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand,
the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that
daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.
