Live

I'm taking it upon myself to remind you to live.

Take a breath.

Breathe it out.

Know that there is no tomorrow. Only today. You're life does not exist in the future. You've only been given these hours in this place. Where a whole lifetime swings upon the hinges of a moment.

The test of your life is not on how you answer tomorrow's problems, for you can only answer the questions that have already been asked of you. And those questions are asked every second of every hour of every day:

How then shall you live?

Thanks fo the reminder Bomber. I needed to hear that right now. I feel just so crazy with work right now. Its like a whirlwind and I am lost. So many new things to learn adn what feels like a million things that need to be done now... it's nice to just breathe (not Faith Hill style!)

like jj, i thank you for taking upon yourself the great task of trying to get us all to slow down. oh, i needed it today, more than usual

i just deleted a few sentences on all that this post provokes...but instead of going on about all that it means and all the implications and the relief this brings or the questions of balance, i'm going to take your advice, and just breathe it out...
