Carpe Diem Dominus (Seize The Day Lord)
The day I saw this phrase, I fell in love instantly. I am not like the most religious person around but I do make a constant daily effort to keep in touch with my faith. Ever sat down to wonder why there are so many divisions and denominations with regards to religion? It confuses me too. However, what we all seem to have in common is the acceptance of a higher force. No matter what you believe in, Jesus, Mohammed or Justin Timberlake, we all somehow meet at a point where we believe that there is a God. Okay except for agnostics and atheists. I sometimes believe that even them in the richness of their conviction, when they see or hear about the stars and galaxies, how a baby forms in the womb, how a plant grows into a gigantic tree, how water is really water, how space and the planets and every weird thing functions, they probably sometimes believe in a supernatural control.
Pardon my next attempt to be poetic but...
Whether its January or its May
Whether the future is now or it is in delay
Whether afloat in luxury or buried in filth and decay,
Oh Lord, seize the day.
You are probably thinking... Was that really necessary? Oh well, it is for me because even if sometimes I am knee deep in the mystery of life and being, I tell myself that I'd rather be caught unawares in belief and faith than to be caught in nothing at all so...
Whether you are straight, bisexual or gay
Whether you are tall short, or somewhere halfway,
Whether you are forever happy or doomed in dismay,
Ask the Lord to seize the day.
