Today was like a shadow. It lurked behind me. It's now gone forever. Why is it that time is such a difficult thing to be friend?

Mary Casey

Each passing minute is all that we are certain of having. The choice is ever present to relish the moment reaping fully whatever it benefits, knowing that we are being given just what we need each day of lives. We must not pass up what is offered today.

Time accompanies us like a friend, though often a friend denied or ignored. We can't recapture what was offered yesterday.
Its gone. All that stands before us is here now.

We can nurture the moment and know that the pain and pleasures offered us with each moment are our friends... the teacher our inner selves await. We can be mindful that this current moment, this combination of events and people, won't come again. They are the gift of the present. We can be greatful.

We miss the opportunities the day offers, because we don't recognize the experiences as the lesson design for our development. The moment's offering are just necessary and friendly to our spiritual growth...
