"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present". It is a quote for Master Oogway from the movie, "Kung Fu Panda"'. It was something came up in my class yesterday when we were talking about Zen Buddhism.
A river changes all the time like many other things in this universe, and I have no idea what the flow will be like tomorrow let alone where fish will be. Feeling of water pushing against me and fish jumping in the air in front of me will soon be things of the past. It is transient and that is why a river is so beautiful, I guess.
I went to a river yesterday to spend a couple of hours before the meeting I had to go. I haven't cought much on out going tide on Mandurah estuary, but fish was still there, and the river looked wonderful. While watching pelicans drifting on the river, I hoped the moment to last bit longer.
