The call at dawn

When you wake up in the early morning, this is the call at dawn:


Live well today. This will create happy memories and hope for the future.

Excellent advice, not put over in a very exciting way.

Let’s hear the original advice penned by Kalidasa the classical Sanskrit writer c 6th-7th CE

No wonder this is the favorite poem of so many people.

Look to this day:
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence.
The bliss of growth,
The glory of action,
The splendour of achievement
Are but experiences of time.

For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision;
And 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 ever-new dawn!
