APPRECIATE THE PRESENT
NOTHING BETTER THAN THIS
Because planet earth is round, opposites meet, though going in diametrically opposite directions .
Riches become poverty in earth's cycle, as poverty becomes riches.
Thus: Go east you meet west.
Thus: Go north you meet south.
Also just beyond ripe is spoiled. And just beyond well is ill. Also, beyond death is life, then, death.
Assuredly, just as beyond victory is defeat, so beyond defeat is victory.
Thus, "anything any better than this wouldn't be no good," Daddy used to say; meaning by it that all is well right now; in fact, perfect now!
Appreciate the gift of the present.
