Forever is composed of nows.

Emily Dickinson

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

Lao Tzu

Let’s give the world to the children, just for one day

like a balloon in bright and striking colors to play with

let them play singing among the stars

let’s give the world to the children

like a huge apple

like a warm loaf of bread

at least for one day, let them have enough

let’s give the world to the children

at least for one day, let the world learn friendship

children will get the world from our hands

they’ll plant immortal trees

Nazim Hikmet

Then take me disappearin’ through the smoke rings of my mind, 
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, 
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach, 
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. 

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, 
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, 
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, 
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Bob Dylan
