The Future

"The future is always beginning now." - Mark Strand


I was listening to a poem by Jim Morrison this morning called,
"The Movie" and a portion of it goes as follows:

"The movie will begin in five moments
The mindless voice announced
All those unseated will await the next show.
We filed slowly, languidly into the hall
The auditorium was vast and silent
As we seated and were darkened, the voice continued.

The program for this evening is not new
You've seen this entertainment through and through
You've seen your birth your life and death
You might recall all of the rest
Did you have a good world when you died?
Enough to base a movie on?"

Make today a call to action. Is there something you've always wanted to do or see or experience? Have you been procrastinating over quitting smoking, getting on the health program, finding a new job? Don't wait one more minute, as the quote above states - the future is now. Step out onto that ledge, throw those arms in the air, and jump. Today is your day. Today is a day to shine. A new day, a new beginning. Make today count for something...


"And in today already walks tomorrow." - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
