BEFORE AND AFTER
There’s a before, before us -
if we take the time to think about it.
We have parents. They had parents. They had parents.
And back and back and back and back and back.
There’s a before, before us -
if we take the time to think about it afterwards.
We’re the after, but we’re also the before of a
lot more that is to come.
A rose is from a rose is from a rose is from a rose is from
a rose and
back and back to the beginning of roses and oak trees and
bonsai trees.
So too butterflies, spiders, monkeys, hippos, Rottweilers,
singers, teachers, carpenters, lawyers, nurses, speakers of the house and
cleaners of the bathroom.
There’s a before, before us
if we take the time to think about it.
So if - who we are, what we say, and what we do lasts, - back
and back - till way, way back - why not
do the best we can do - in the here and now - right now.
We pray, we play, we work, we think, we talk, with words and structures
that go back, and back, and back, and back - till before
we remember back.
So I guess the message is: we’re all connected and a lot is
going
to follow us, so best case scenario: let’s leave a great
legacy. Amen.

What's up, every time i used to check web site posts here in the early hours in the daylight, for the reason that i love to gain knowledge of more and more.
Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she
has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your
blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
Hello! Quick question that's completely off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
My site looks weird when browsing from my iphone4. I'm trying to find a theme
or plugin that might be able to correct this problem.
If you have any recommendations, please share. Appreciate it!
Heya i'm for the first time here. I came across this board and I find It really useful & it helped me
out a lot. I hope to give something back and help others like you helped me.
excellent submit, very informative. I'm wondering why the other
specialists of this sector don't notice this. You should proceed your
writing. I am sure, you've a huge readers' base already!
If you are going for finest contents like myself, just go to see this site
everyday for the reason that it gives feature contents, thanks
Your style is unique in comparison to other people I have read stuff from.
Many thanks for posting when you have the opportunity, Guess I'll just book mark this web site.
I must thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this blog.
I am hoping to check out the same high-grade blog posts from you later on as well.
In fact, your creative writing abilities has
motivated me to get my own site now ;)
magnificent issues altogether, you just
won a brand new reader. What would you recommend in regards
to your submit that you just made some days in the past?
Any certain?
It's amazing designed for me to have a web page, which
is useful for my experience. thanks admin
I have read so many content concerning the blogger lovers but this paragraph is in fact a
nice post, keep it up.
I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article
like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers
made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
Have you ever thought about creating an ebook or guest authoring on other sites?
I have a blog based on the same subjects you discuss and would love to
have you share some stories/information. I know my viewers would enjoy
your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to
send me an e mail.
