WHEN A DAY MOVES AHEAD

WHEN A DAY MOVES AHEAD

When tomorrow becomes today, today becomes yesterday and yesterday becomes part of history… things go on in a very different manner.
A day passes-by, a new day is born, and life suddenly turns very, very interesting. We regret for the things we failed to do, for the things we didn’t learn, for the things we forgot to share. They are all gone now. There is no miraculous way of retrieving them back.

The new days are offering new gifts, new visions, new ideas, and new blessings. Let us not be tied to the past. Let history be a dignified record of our unintended follies and accidental successes, for the new day is inviting us to new challenges, new ventures, new missions, new pictures to paint to become new memories and new pages in history when the present tomorrow again becomes today for a new cycle when everyone again leaves a yesterday to history.

Come to think of it. The cycle of life is so intriguing but so real that must be respected. Everything else on life has a cycle. Water flows, evaporates, condenses, solidifies, liquefies, fall as rains and flows again no matter how devastating it does along the way.

Plants are living, animals are living, humans are living so, what makes them different? Plant lives but is fixed to its place. Plants die in the spot where they live. Animals eat them – from their fruits to their roots they are eaten. Then they are digested to become nutritious parts of the animals that ate them. That way plants become free and can now move through the animals that digested them.

Animals live and move and so are the human beings. What makes them different? Animals only move around their pastures or when they are guided and only humans who are rational can effectively guide them.

Like the animals that eat plants, humans also eat cooked or uncooked animal meats. They are digested and become nutrients that support the metabolisms of human beings to continue existing. Now with the human being, both plants and animals still live and can now move and reason out through man.

We all know most of all that God lives and moves and reasons but God doesn’t eat man the way animals eat plants and man eats animals. He is All Powerful, All Knowing and for man to be like Him, man must die and his soul returns to God who gave it to him anyway.

Now, everything… plants, animals and humans all live and move and reason and turn all knowing through Him who started it all when He first said: “There must be light!" And that light reminds us that we must live today since yesterday is gone and tomorrow is still nowhere. Let us cherish today before it becomes yesterday…
