Living the Moment

Exhaust the little moment.
Soon it dies.
And be it gash or gold
it will not come again
In this identical guise.

~ Gwendolyn Brooks

I just heard this quote on an audio program I downloaded from Audible.com called "A Short Guide to a Happy Life" by Anna Quindlen (good program by the way).

The words of this poem just struck me right down to the marrow. Talk about summing up the way to practice Zen and the art of mindfulness!! I'm going to try and pratice this to the best of my ability today.
