And the reality

And the act
Falls this shadow

Unmon said: "I do not ask you about fifteen days ago. But what about fifteen days hence? Come say a word about this!" Since none of the monks answered, he answered for them. . .
"Everyday is a Good Day"
Every day is a good day is a simple statement, but very few know its real meaning. The good day does not refer to a nice day as compared to a bad day. It means the absolute, not the relative, day. Today is the absolute day, the only day in the eternity of time. Today is never repeated. Every day is fresh and new just as ones life is new each day. Every day is a good day, but the good is not of ones own making. It is good in the original, or absolute, sense rain or shine, war or peace, sickness or health. The past is only reference; the future is only hope. Today is real."
