My Aunt Ellie

Has been diagnosed with Central Nervous System Lymphoma.  Pray for her. She is a wonderful person who lives in Ontario and will be undergoing chemo and radiation treatment.  She posted a poem on her blog (sidebar link "Count My Blessings")  that was given to her from another who has cancer.  I am re-posting it here. 

Salutation to the Dawn

Translated from the Sanskrit by F. Mennien

Look to this day!

For it is life,

The very life of life.

In its brief couse

Lie all the verities

and realities of

your existence:

The bliss of growth;

The glory of action;

The splendour of achievement;

For yesterday is but a

Dream, and tomorrow

Is only a vision,

But today, well lived,

Makes every yesterday

a dream of happiness,

And every tomorrow a

a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore,

to this day!
