Elusive Elements
What was the art but a mold in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself – life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, to sweet to lose.
~ Willa Cather ~
Look well to this day
for it and it alone is life.
In its brief course
lies all the essence
of your existence:
the glory of growth,
the satisfaction of achievement,
the splendor of beauty.
For yesterday is but a dream
and tomorrow is but a vision.
But today, well lived,
makes every yesterday
a dream of happiness
and tomorrow
a vision of hope.
