I find your excerpt from Horace's Odes to be unusually inspiring. I think it's because I've been pondering lately on the idea of "today." I don't think there is anything as empowering as kneeling down for a nightly prayer and feeling like you gave your all for that day.
In fact, for some reason, your entire post about "The Present" is really striking a chord with me right now. Thanks for posting this. I'll have to ponder more on it.
Right now I wish i could take horace's ode to heart and use that as my daily motto, but alas it's a hard thing to master. I do really find myself caught up in the stresses of life instead of dwelling on the blessings of here and now. Great quotes by the way!
Another AMEN. My friend and I were talking about last night how the present is like a ticking time bomb. It is so stressful realizing that everything is riding on the present--but if you step back for a sec you realize thats not exactly the case...
