Man is the gardener of his own soul. The Great Spirit has provided him with all that is necessary for it to grow in wisdom, grace and beauty. The implements are there, he has but to use them wisely and well - Silver Birch

Yesterdays dreams are not forgotten,
For they live on within the mind,
Could they give birth to a future?
A dream of its most precious kind.

Yesterdays promises could be broken,
Where hearts do dare not follow,
Could you protect your own future?
Or be dying in the arms of tomorrow?

Yesterdays lies leave you crying,
Consumed within your own pain,
Knowledge is there if you take it,
And your choice if you listen again.

Yesterdays pain stays planted,
Stuck in firmly with a knife,
Would you take it to your tomorrow?
And bathe within its strife.

Today is the moment we live in,
Handle your moments with care,
As soon as the moments are over,
Yesterday's already there.

Love that, K2C!

I like to think of 'yesterday' as our training ground & to learn from the hurts, but not to allow 'hurt' to overshadow what's to come.
Living in the moment is a great place to be

I completely agree Cookie! Wise advice, sometimes hard to do, but being aware of the benefits of living in the moment makes it much easier for us to follow through.

PS: I like the thread too! Kudos (and rep points) to knightofalbion.

ps
Love all the other quotes & inspirational saying through-out this thread as well~

There are two worlds; the world that we can measure with line and rule, and the world that we feel with our hearts and imaginations.

~Leigh Hunt~

Success is full of promise till men get it; and then it is a last-year's nest from which the birds have flown.

~Henry Ward Beecher~

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail - Ralph Waldo Emerson

If not you, who???

And how, you ask, are we to walk the spiritual path? We answer: say little, love much, give all, judge no one; aspire to all that is pure and good - and keep on keeping on - White Eagle
