Look To This Day

Roses for Mother’s Day by qthomasbower

Look to this day,
for it is life, the very breath of life.

In its brief course lie
all the realities of your existence;

the bliss of growth,
the glory of action,
the splendour of beauty.

For yesterday is only a dream,
and tomorrow is but a vision.

But today, well-lived,
makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
and every tomorrow
a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.

— Kālidāsa
famed playwright and poet from 4th century CE India.

Seems I’m inspired to post this periodically; first in 2009, then again in 2016 as a salutation to the dawn. This is the third time and version.
