- "Seize the day, pluck the rose when it is time" ... Why does the poet use these verses?
"Why in a hurry?
-No! Because we are food for worms, lads.
(Dialogue from 'Dead Poets Society')

I had planned an hour of meditation in the afternoon. I'm trying to give me the habit to meditate an hour a day to practice and get a rhythm in this practice, but today I changed my program.
Maybe I should feel guilty, but it happens. So I thought and I have no guilt because I feel I did well.
Sometimes you glide on life, taken for granted on the basis of stability we usually go, there you case, as was due. It 's easy to know they do not want to die: the survival instinct is present in every animal, including humans. But to live is other than not wanting to die, something else entirely. It means knowing how to take what they want to live that life has to give beautiful, every moment of joy, every moment of emotion.
Too often we let slip away precious moments, beautiful moments that we are denied because of too many commitments, because we had already decided to do something else, because you can do so even after ... The magical moment, the special moment to leave no escape, no returns. Count for nothing programs and commitments: they live not programmed to perform actions, which actions do you plan to be as happy as possible. If a special moment it breaks the routine and upsets the program ... Is not to pursue these moments of happiness that you live? What else makes sense, if not fully accept them and live them?
not feel I meditate for an example or put on my conscience for having done your homework the day, but only and exclusively to learn to enjoy what I may not possess, let me bring in the flow of life and the world in its manifestations, accept change and learn to be a part.
This means knowing how to live the happiness that I have given when I granted, and not just in times expected or planned.
Simplicity is often the key to our more powerful.

You will quaesieris, Scire nefas, quem mihi, quem tibi
finem di dederint, Leuconoe, nec Babylonios
temptaris numeros. Vt melius, quidquid erit, pati,
seu pluris hiemes seu tribuit Iuppiter ultimam,
quae nunc oppositis debilitat pumicibus mare
Tyrrhenum! Sapias, uina liques et spatio breui
spem longam reseces. Dum loquimur, fugerit inuida
aetas. Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero.
(Orazio - Odi, I,11)
