Future Is Present

Editorial Note

We have an unwritten covenant with life…To make it beautiful while we live

The winds of change are blowing

Heralding the dawn of a new reality

Scripting a novel message in our hearts

Purging our minds in the fire of introspection

Reflecting a timeless truth in our conscience

That life is the most valuable gift

Its impermanence is the only true knowledge

Nudging us to build bridges than walls

For creating meaning through compassion and love

Exalting humanity to its intended glory

We have an unwritten covenant with life

To make it beautiful while we live

Through the strength of our relationships

But the covenant is broken and beauty lost

And we seldom remember to live

Let us gather in the playgrounds of hope

Assured of the power of second chances

To mend our ways with humans and nature

By collaborating and not competing

Through nurturing and not hindering

The future belongs to the one who is ever present

As history is made every second

Let us learn to shut gates behind us

And set our eyes on the future

Life’s eternal solace and storehouse of surprises

But there never was or is a future distant in time

That we frantically race to reach there, first

Let us not deceive but enlighten ourselves

In the knowledge that, the future of our dreams

Is nothing but the present

FOR FUTURE IS PRESENT
