you're cheating yourself out of today. today is calling to you, trying to get your attention, but you're stuck on tomorrow, and today trickles away like water down a drain. you wake up the next morning and that today that you wasted is gone forever. it's now yesterday. some of those moments may have had wonderful things in store for you, but now you'll never know. --jerry spinelli

"She was elusive. She
was today. She was
tomorrow. She was
the faintest scent of
a cactus flower, the
flitting shadow of an
elf owl. We did not
know what to make
of her. In our minds
we tried to pin her
to a corkboard like a
butterfly, but the pin
merely went through
and away she flew."
