It’s either a beginning
or an end
depending upon where
the perspective is made.
Inhale, exhale
life and death.
Sunrise, sunset,
birth and funeral.
Each heartbeat,
but another flicker
of the internal candle.
To accept this one way
or the other,
is what allows us
to be human.
Yet to hold both
lovingly
but equally
is what allows us
to be free.
(Poem taken from Begin Again)
Giles Dawnay - writer, poet and GP 
I am reminded of Tolstoys comment o the present moment whichi have posted by the cooker as a daily reminder!
Time does not exist
There is only a small
And infinite present
And it is in this present
That our life occurs.
Therefore a person
Should concentrate all
His spiritual forces
Only on this present
