Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
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 Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

This is a record of your time.
This is your movie.
Live out your dreams and fantasies.
Whisper questions to the Sphinx at night.
Sit for hours at sidewalk cafes and
drink with your heroes.
Make pilgrimages to Mougins and Abiquiu.
Look up and down. Believe in the unknown
for it is there.
Live in many places.
Live with flowers and music and books and
paintings and sculpture.
Keep a record of your time.
Learn to read well. Learn to listen and speak well.
Know your country, know your world, know your history, know yourself.
Take care of yourself physically and mentally.
You owe it to yourself. Be good to those around you.
And do all of these things with passion.
Give all that you can.
Remember, Life is short and Death is long.
- FRITZ SHOULDER
