TWIST OF FATE
You never know what tomorrow will bring ?
Whether your number is up or down,
What your number will be,
Whether it will land on a smooth or sharp surface,
In the rain or in sunshine ..
And so the bottom line ..
We should live in the moment?
And be aware of our gifts?
Easier said than done of course
The 5+ 4 = 9 = 1/2 18
= half chai
= one half of life
= ie there is more to the story than just living in the moment
Not sure what that may be though but will try to work it out while on the dog walk Inspired by conversation with cousin Steven Isaacson. and his family at a reunion last night after more than twenty year hiatus Found this dice on a dOG wAlk and it had this profound lesson to teach

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.

Everything is a railway junction where past and future are sliding over one another, not touching.

See, when you drive home today, you’ve got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you’ve got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what’s happened in your past is not near as important as what’s in your future.

Live neither in the past, nor in the future but let each day?s work absorb all your interest, energy and enthusiasm.  The best preparation for tomorrow is to do today?s work superbly well
