Stay happy, healthy and safe –- 51

Rekha Sahay

Yesterday is but a dream,

Tomorrow is only a vision. 

But today

well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,

and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

 

 

― Kālidāsa, The complete works of Kalidasa

  4. Thank you for this very interesting quote of the Sanskrit writer. I live a lot in the past and in the future as well, when I write my articles. They mostly involve historical aspects of the theme I write about, and at the end I like to give an outlook into the future.

    I appreciate Eastern philosophy though, as I notice that my upbringing and way of thinking is quite different. I want to learn about new things … I find Indian philosophy fascinating.

    1. Imagining past and future for creativity is not a problem. It’s a problem If it affects our present moment in a negative way. Because very soon this present moment will turn into past….as a negative/sad past.
      Thanks for liking it Olivia.

  6. I have a riddle for you,Rekha: Is the spoken or written word part of the past or of the future?

    EMILY DICKINSON:,A WORD

    “A word is dead
    When it is said,
    Some say.
    I say it just begins
    To live that day …”
