Today is the tomorrow we were waiting on yesterday

Today is the tomorrow we were waiting on yesterday, and tomorrow today will be yesterday.  So really tomorow really never does come, and yesterday never leaves.  Today, however, ends at the end of each day.  Go figure!

I love this piece.  It gave me a chance to excercise my brain a bit the first thing this morning.

mariaki - Lovely! Yes and the moment is right now. I am writing this and
when you return my 'now' moment will be past, but you will be right here in your, 'now'.  Interesting how that works, isn't it?

Hi Mariaki - you're right, in many ways this is the best way to live,
though various responsibilities to others usually mean we have to hold back from truly doing what we want. But there is important wisdom for those who delay their fulfilment, perhaps out of misplaced fear as much as anything...

Mariaki
Yup... "Today becomes tomorrow" so we might as well enjoy each and every moment of the present.  An excellent message crafted into a poem!
