The Lone Cypress

"Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have; so spend it wisely."

Every word in this quote is so true...we only have NOW, this moment. Are we doing justice to the NOW?

We are already 4 months into 2010, and another month, another day, another hour will go by, but what are we doing about the now? Are we making the NOW a memory we can treasure forever or are we letting the moments pass by like drops of water in an ocean...

One of my all time favorite quotes:
"Across the gateway of heart, i wrote "No thoroughfare"...
But love came passing by and cried..."I enter everywhere".

Love is such a complicated emotion and yet such a simple one. This one emotion pushes you to highs and lows you would never experience otherwise. You can feel like the king or queen of the world or a lone pauper on the streets...

There is no escape from this feeling...

The stillness and darkness of the night...the flickering lamp light....and no one in sight...

The solitude embraces me...

I am aware that I am unaware of what lies ahead but yet i traverse..
Is being aware of being unaware a conscious choice one makes? Why does one want to take that plunge not knowing where one will land...or does one intrinsically know what the outcome will be...

Relationships are like Rome.
Difficult to start out,
incredible during the prosperity of the ‘Golden Age’,
and unbearable during the fall.

Then, a new kingdom will come along
and the whole process will repeat itself
until you come across a kingdom like Egypt…
that thrives, and continues to flourish.
This kingdom will become your best friend, your soul mate, and your love.
