Today


I would like to take today and bottle it
then age it
like premium wine
or good basmati rice
keep it for as long as possible
savor it on special occasions


But its ephemeral 
this thing called time
They are temporary
Them things called moments


They have to be gone
That's why
They are special
Here.
Now.
*****************


A little sunshine from today
will light up
a lot of days
ahead.

Beautiful thought

Use the sunshine well.. pepper it over a dark night or sprinkle it over a grey cloud..and when you are down to the last scoop, savor it with a stiff drink...

this is lovely and wise. i think memories as as precious as the moments they capture.
