Now Is All You Have

“Life is a sequence of moments…all called now!” — Gary Ryan Blair

The past is behind us.

The future is ahead of us.

Between the two…

On the thinnest slice of time imaginable…

Is the present…

The NOW in front of us.

How old must we be before we really understand that?

The truth is…

Neither yesterday nor tomorrow is our friend.

All we have is today…

The precious present.

That’s all we will ever have.

While it’s natural and comforting to want to cherish yesterday…

And look towards tomorrow with rose colored glasses.

To think that tomorrow will smile on us…

That it will bless us…

With the abundant fruit we desire today.

But the truth remains…
