I am not surprised to see you quoting from a Sufi poet (I wish I had the linguistic skills to read the original). But what a magnificent translation.
With such utter beauty in the world of thought how can we get our lives so very wrong.
But, indeed, time is a thing you do. Carpe Diem. Forget past mistake and abandon fear for the future. Live every day for itself. I really am trying to do just that these days.
You may drink from the cup of joy, or the cup of sorrow. The choice is yours.

Thank you Zeno for your kind words. I agree with everything you said. All we can do is move forward in life and do the best we can.
