No Other Life But This
February 26, 2012
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this.”
— Henry David Thoreau

Wow this quote is so perfect for my life right now and the potential opportunity that lies on yonder shore!
It’s a difficult way to be in the day to day, sometimes. Being right here and not over there…
I love Thoreau. Who knew he was a practitioner of mindfulness.
There are so many hidden jewels in his writing!
