10 April

In the evening, when it cools, and dark the outer light, and all that’s heard at distance are the crickets of the night, then it is that one can still the mind from racing long, and focus on results achieved and lessons learned. For every night is thus a purging of the day’s events, and sleep is the final chapter of today, at every step; a time to leave this earthly toil, to review the day and life in context and ready the self for dawn anew.

And if we count all days completed as deaths to the past, we more readily accept a greater path to walk and venture forth boldly with intent.

Everything is significant in terms of growth and destined plan, and when one thus embraces the meaning of one’s life in span, one will make the most of every moment and improve on past events, and dreams well remembered will reflect this state of grace.

So do not leave this day behind without a thought, nor fail to recognise the growth and learning one has sought. Tomorrow is a promise, but nothing is guaranteed, and no one wants to leave behind a tangled web for others to unweave.

Treat each day as though your last, and tidy all loose ends. Keep in foremost thought the bigger picture you comprehend, and know that as you do so much more will be achieved, and when, at last, you thus depart, and, for a time, take reprieve, you will go with honour, and gladly, with such joy, knowing you have accomplished much and left behind a legacy true for others to enjoy.
