It's already two weeks into the New Year. Are you beginning this new year in a state of joy? If you are having difficulty releasing from the past, and are carrying within you thoughts of regrets or sadness from last year, I have a little poem for you.
You and Today
With every rising of the sun
Think of your life as just begun.
The past has shriveled and buried deep,
All yesterdays--there let them sleep.
Nor seek to summon back one ghost
Of that innumerable host.
Concern yourself with but today;
Woo it and teach to obey.
Your wish and will, since time began,
Today has been the friend of man.
But in his blindness and his sorrow,
Man looks to yesterday and tomorrow.
You and today! a soul sublime
And the great pregnant hour of time.
With God between to bind the train,
Go forth, I say--attain--attain.

Make this year your beginning to Live in Joy!
