Tomorrow never comes but years do

In the space
of yesterday
I found myself
travelling today
never reaching
tomorrow.

Whether tomorrow exists? Whether yesterday exists? Nicely written poem.

Okay. I know you've heard this before but yesterday is gone and tomorrow never comes so the only thing we ever have is now. And NOW is a gift. That's why we call it the "present". I'm looking forward to eternity, myself, shedding this skin and bones facade and breaking free of these prison bars that are the ribs around my heart. I know nothing of eternity except the promise. I know nothing of the future except hope. But what I know of the NOW suggests to me that my faith and hope are not in vain or without purpose. A thought invoking write from you that I enjoyed, thank you for sharing it. F.

I have often wondered how we would be if we didn’t know the time. Yes we live in the now and the now
appears to be an extension of itself because we are always in the now ,never leaving but just changing. I need Stephen Hawkins to help me out on this one, he explains the concepts better.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Everything that can be, is or was. Everything reformed and made new is part of the was and part of the will be. That's what nature teaches me. The tree dies but it drops seeds and leaves and its body fertilizes the earth as food for what is to come, new life, born from the old. I'm a bit of a transcendentalist in that respect. I believe everything in the physical realm is a representation of a higher spiritual truth. I also believe our world is like a classroom with many lessons to learn. I'm studying hard.

Enjoyed this very much, you had me thinking about how I’ve used my time. The takeaway is a bit of a twist; that whatever we choose to do costs us the opportunity to do something else.

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you very much MCS

my good Padre told me "Gene, just keep your mind on what you are doing in the moment." ... well .. not his exact words; but that's the gist of it. It's no wonder I do things like turn the TV on with my phone .. or can't find the dog leash I hung behind my head ... oh ... brother ... I could go on with a litany of those yesterdays driving around looking for tomorrows .. love your stuff man! be well ... :)

Time takes its own time, it's we human tornados that mis-use it, using what's there as if it is the LAST DAY ! Why not sit, stand or slowly walk, looking, gazing, seeing what could go in second if fire erupted, if a hurrican or tsunami swallowed it whole. Time to savour, inhale, learn and remember. With your words in mind and your need for the ever could be-can be we might never starve. Thank you for a life-long gift, Vol,

[andrew mitchell]

And the calendar years are piling on. We seem to be on the same ride, Andrew. Perhaps at different times of the day and from different stops. I seem to have a season rail pass on me as well 🙏🏻🕊

Welcome Andrew! See you round the (café) site 🙏🏻🕊

One never knows if tomorrow will come. We hope that it will but for some it does not.
