Is Today The Day? Am

Now That I'm Suffering, I Feel Closer To People Who Suffer More Than I Ever Did Before. The Other Night, On Tv, I Saw People In Bosnia Running Across The Street, Getting Fired Upon, Killed, Innocent Victims....and I Just Started To Cry. I Feel Their Anguish As If It Were My Own. I Don't Know Any Of These People. But - How Can I Put This? I'm Almost......drawn To Them.

As Long As We Can Love Each Other, And Remember The Feeling Of Love We Had, We Can Die Without Ever Really Going Away. All The Love You Created Is Still There. All The Memories Are Still There. You Live On—in The Hearts Of Everyone You Have Touched And Nurtured While You Were Here

The Tension Of Opposites: Life Is A Series Of Pulls Back And Forth. You Want To Do One Thing, But You Are Bound To Do Something Else. Something Hurts You, Yet You Know It Shouldn't. You Take Certain Things For Granted, Even When You Know You Should Never Take Anything For Granted. A Tension Of Opposites, Like A Pull On A Rubber Band. And Most Of Us Live Somewhere In The Middle.

Everyone Knows They're Going To Die, But Nobody Believes It. If We Did We Would Do Things Differently. Do What The Buddhists Do. Every Day, Have A Little Bird On Your Shoulder That Asks, "is Today The Day? Am I Ready? Am I Doing All I Need To Do? Am I Being The Person I Want To Be?

And, In Addition To All The Miseries, The Young Are Not Wise. They Have Very Little Understanding About Life. Who Wants To Live Every Day When You Don't Know What's Going On? When People Are Manipulating You, Telling You To Buy This Perfume And You'll Be Beautiful, Or This Pair Of Jeans And You'll Be Sexy-and You Believe Them! It's Such Nonsense.
