"The future ain't what it used to be." ~ Yogi Berra In fact, the future is never what we thought it would be. Nothing is as it was. Everything in life is new. Every moment, in effect, is a new creation. This moment has never existed before and will not come again. That is why we must strive to be open and aware of each meeting.
