There is such beauty in being totally in present time without remnants of the past pulling you down.

A little paraphrase of an old adage: Those who can - do. Those who can't - criticize!

He loved and for the moment/That was more than enough. jaffe

He asked this in one/drawn out question/Was he then a happy man/loving those around him/as if they were newly born. jaffe

He looked into the mirror/saw eyes stuck in yonder/and wondered/was he a happy man/Did he stand contented with all he had done? jaffe
