Imagine today is a box. And yesterday is a box. And the days to come are all boxes. Your thoughts, deeds, spoken words, every responsibility, toubles and every material enitity are collected and stored into this box. We become a prisoner within each day. A life that seals up and opens up new upon the clangour of the midnight chimes.

You'll never be able to even have so much as a glance of what's in there again. Only the vestigial memories. The stone henches of your ancient achievements and failures all wrapped up in a 24 hour package. Even the individual seconds of the day are ice cubes of all your thoughts, deeds and words. Change is immutable, never ceasing. You look up into the sky and you miss a raindrop landing upon the ground. You'll never have the chance to see the frozen picture of everything happening all at once in this world of galloping time at searing speeds.

So I've come to realise the preciousness of each second. Why freeze those unhappy times when you have a choice to look beyond its guise and see them as a good way to grow in strength and faith in God. Why bother to dwell on the bad when it stifles your development. Spilled milk will evaporate. Or you can even speed it up by wiping it away. Every problem is just an opprtunity waiting to be discovered. Take your time and find the light. There will always be an exit in every cave. Or rather, an entrance that you can avoid.
