Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
And today is a gift, that's why it's the present.
Kindness is a beautiful garden-
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the blossoms,
Kind deeds are the fruits.
Once, if ever, throughout eternity
thoughts lost in cosmic storms
life dying in the birth of fear
and never is there peace.
The sane are mad and cannot see
and light is darkened by the sun
our God is dead, yet everywhere
and still there is no peace.
Our globe, our world, lay naked, bare
the mushrooms ate the life away
now life and death are one in nothing
and finally there is peace.
-Jim Bazinet (Written during the Vietnam War in 1970)
I am a skilled juggler in real life, and here is a great poem I found in the book,Lessons from the Art of Juggling, written by Michael Gelb and Tony Buzan. This book is highly recommended because it not only teaches you how to juggle, it also teaches you how to learn.
I,
Juggler,
Stand between two spheres.
The expression
Of my Enlightened thoughts
Goes out
And up
To the sun.
The soles
And balls
Of my feet
Hug the loam of the Earth,
As I weave the dancing patterns of Infinty.
Deeply,
I am a juggler.
Deeply
I breathe out into the Universe
I have breathed
In.
I, Atomic Child,
Charmed Child,
Star Child
Of the Universe,
Juggle
And
Am
Juggled.
To see a world in a grain of sand
and heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour.
-William Blake
The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
-Vince Lombardi
