Take care of the present

Above all things in the world, persue the present. The past and the future are lovers whom you should have as little contact with as possible. One has had it's way with you never to return, whilst the other entices and seduces but never commits itself to you. They will always be in your life, but do not let them distract you from the present. The present is the true friend that stands beside you through every experience. It allows you the opportunity to heal rotting wounds and bathe in warm glowing memories of the past. It lays evanescent dreams within your grasp to either safegaurd or crush in your grip. The present is a jealous lover though, it will not open up it's riches to you unless you are fully committed to it. It understands where you have been and where you want to go and all it requires is that you allow it be what it is meant to be...a reflection of you.

Allow the present to reflect you my love. More often than not, it is not an easy sight to take in. It is however the most honest assessment that you can recieve. Where society and friends and family and reason and emotion would mislead you, the present will be prepared to be your looking glass and your most honest critic and fervent supporter!

If you would engage the present persistently and honestly, your past will not be fraught with regret and your future will be an inspiration for you to persue your dreams.

    life and death
    Energy and peace,
    if I stop today,
    it was all worth it.
    Even the terrible mistakes
    that I have made and would
    have unmade if I could
    The pains that have burned
    me and scarred my soul
    it was worth it
    for having been allowed
    to walk where I’ve walked…
    which was to hell on earth…
    heaven on earth
    back again, into, under
    far in between, through it,
    in it, and above.
