As I look into the future, I am frightened. Only the present moment is precious to me, As the future may never enter my soul at all. It is no longer in my power to change, correct or add to the past; For neither sages nor prophets could do that. And so what the past has embraced I must entrust to God's mercy.My prayer reaches out even there where I cannot reach out physically to you my classmate.
