Today, this hour,
Is your one true life,
Don’t waste it on worry
On fear, or in strife.
These moments are fleeting,
like tides to the sea,
Hold tightly to joy
Let your spirit run free.

To live is to find out
for yourself what is true.

Home is a place
you grow up wanting
to leave,
and grow old wanting
to get back to

Poetry expands and softens
our consciousness, moving
the mind and heart from
a state of worry to wonder,
reminding us that there is
beauty even in suffering.

If a free society
cannot help the many
who are poor,
it cannot save the
few who are rich.
John Kennedy,
Inaugural Address, Jan 20, 1961
James McCrae's quote carries us from the heavy weight of our daily burdens to a place where even pain can shimmer with meaning
