Fishin'

In today’s competitive world with its many pockets of civil unrest and the clouds of economic uncertainty, life can get hectic! Here in the United States we are also being bombarded with political rhetoric from both parties as we gear up for the nationsl elections this fall.

Maybe it’s time to step back. . . . Say, “Whoa! Enough is enough! Time out, this is MY life to live and enjoy!” This is not a dress-rehearsal, this is the REAL thing.

 Many years ago I came across today’s poem by an unknown author. It was on the back of a business card. It made sense to me then and still does now…. Kick-back and enjoy!

**********

On an ancient wall in China
Where a brooding Buddha blinks,
Deeply graven is this message –
“It is later than you think!”

The clock of life is wound but
Once
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will
Stop
At late or early hour.

Now is the only time you own
The past’s a golden link
Go fishing now my brother,
It is later than you think!
