life
My brother kept this poem in his room.
Salutation to the Dawn.
Look to this day.
For it is life, the very life of life
in its brief course
Lie all the varieties & realities of your existences
The bliss of growth
The glory of action
The splendour of achievement
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision
Today well lived makes yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope
Look well, therefore to this day
Such is the salutation to the dawn.
– Kalidasa
Dedicated to my daughter Kathryn who turns 21 today, and to my brother Barry, last seen on Nightcliff beach, Darwin on 29 September 2001.
