Speech to the Young

(I found this on a professor's door at the College of St. Catherine)

Speech to the Young

Say to them,
Say to the down-keepers,
the sun-slappers
the self-soilers,
the harmony-hushers,
"Even if you are not ready for day
It cannot always be night."
You will be right
For that is the hard home-run.
Live not for battles won.
Live not for the-end-of-the-song.
Live in the along.

Gwendolyn Brooks
1991

A reminder to live in the present moment. Yes.

And when we attempt it, we notice why God is so focused on our trusting Him!! I never realised how little I trust Him, till I tried to live ONLY in the present...
