Look to this Day,
for it is Life – the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the verities
and realities of your existence:
the Bliss of Growth,
the Glory of Action,
the Splendor of Beauty.
For yesterday is already a dream
and tomorrow is only a vision;
but today, well-lived,
makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this Day.
Such is the salutation of the Dawn.
~ by Kalidasa, Indian Sanskrit Playwright and Poet,
Hindu Philosopher, 4 – 5th century A.D.
(One of several translations from the original Sanskrit.)
Gratitude to the friend who recently shared this poem with me.
