today

it is too easy to get up in the morning and assume that the day you are currently living in is banal and unremarkable. it is too easy to put oneself on autopilot, with a goal only to survive the day with a minimal amount of pain.

it is much more difficult and dangerous and brilliant to realize that you only get one shot with today, and if you miss it, it's gone.
in the entire history of the universe, let alone in your own history, there has never been another day jut like today, and there will never be another just like it again. today is the point to which all your yesterdays have been leading since the hour of your birth. it is the point from which all your tomorrows will proceed until the hour of your death. if you were aware of how precious today is, you could hardly live through it. unless you are aware of how precious it is, you can hardly be said to be living at all. {frederich buechner}

what will you do with today?
