A Favor Has Been Granted You
Beloved, Beloved, you seek and seek. And now is time to accept. Instead of your attention being full-flung on the future, attend to accepting all that has been poured on you today. You are fleet of foot. You are on Earth. You are My treasure, and you have goodness a-plenty. Attend to the field that you reap today.
There is a lot to be said for today. Yesterday is a memory. Tomorrow will arrive but not today. Make a big thing out of today, for today is what you have in your hand only for a blink of an eye. You travel fast in time. Your feet hardly touch ground. Fleeting fleeting is this day, never to come again. Welcome it. Greet it. Love it. This is the day before you. It is more priceless than the greatest jewel. Today is your priceless treasure. Accept it gladly. Warm up to it. Be today's cheerleader. Hurrah for today.
Perhaps today comes in like a lion or a lamb or a monkey. Perhaps it is a pony you ride. In any case, you have today. Perhaps today is like an apple you pick ripe from the top of the tree. Perhaps today you stand on a mountain top and see all the sights from on high. Perhaps there is fog, and you don't see much. Nevertheless, today is a ripe plum to pick. Reach up. Reach the heights of today. Perhaps there are seven mountains and another and another. There are many views to see from.
Perhaps today is a valley from which you look up.
Perhaps today is a plateau you sit on and watch from both above and below.
There is no sitting out today.
Whether you are at work or play, today is your day. Today is like clay you mold. You form it. There is no stamp for today. There is no procedure except to live it and wring every bit of dew from it.
Perhaps today is a board game, and you play it to the hilt.
Perhaps today is a project. You project your project far. Observe your day. Observe it as a movie you watch. See it from a different angle. Change your seat at the theater. See from the lobby. See from the front row. See from the balcony.
Consider today a great favor that has been granted you. See today in a new light, for today is new. Today is like a vitamin. You have to drink it down in order to get the benefit. A vitamin on the shelf is a vitamin on the shelf. It is like a good book on the book shelf. Its value appears as you read the book. Unless you read it, a good book is nothing but paper with words on it. It is like a pancake in the pan. Take the pancake out of the pan and pour maple syrup on it. Savor it. Savor today.
Digest today. Today is not a formula. It is a brand-new day especially for you.
Today is an original. Today is not a panacea. It is a day unfolding before you. You pick up the pieces. You put them together. You make something of your day. The day is yours. No one has the same day. Even if you are a twin, you do not have the same day. Even when you go to the same places together, you are each seeing different sites.
No day is transferrable. Your day is your day and belongs only to you. Today is your puppy, and you take a walk with it. Have a good walk. Make it so.
