Live Now


We are here and it is now. Further than that, all human knowledge is moonshine.~H. L. Mencken
He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses. -Horace, poet and satirist (65-8 BCE)
Israel lives round the clock, now, today, this moment. Dance all night, then dress for work. Tonight, a family wedding.
Dive for dreams
Or a slogan may topple you
(trees are their roots and wind is wind)
trust your heart
if the seas catch fire
(and live by love though the stars walk backward)
honour the past
but welcome the future
(and dance your death away at this wedding)
ee cummings
