Is living for today more important than worrying about tomorrow?

by Allison Beldon-Smith

Created on: February 12, 2009   Last Updated: June 29, 2009

Rest assured, tomorrow needs no worrying over, it is the safety net for today; life holds precious few guarantees but take heart tomorrow is one of them, it will always be there. And on that fateful day when finally it isn't we will have joined the immortal throng where all worries cease.

Humanity has always needed visual support for the meta-physical; the seen to bolster the unseen; it is simply how the mechanism of the human mind computes. This is understandable because fundamentally we are physical creatures who instinctively need physical props to support the reality of our lives. Hence it is the sun, with its birth each dawn of a new day, bestowing the wonderment of optimism that encourages us to live our lives to the full. At each day's close, with the setting of the sun, no matter how disastrous the day has been we know that tomorrow's dawn will birth a new day, full of potentiality, and all manner of possibilities. It is this physical manifestation that informs us of a benevolent perpetual Divine love, far superior to humanity that holds control of the heavens. We find hope and solace in the knowledge that a well pool of unchanging love untainted by the corruption and futility that we witness here upon this earth, in control of destiny.

Furthermore we do well to acknowledge that this has clearly been known and appreciated by humanity since the dawn of time; many Neolithic ritual sites are incredibly built in exact alignment to capture this Divine gift, and celebrate dawn. It is a sobering act of humility to sit within the ancient circle at Stonehenge or stand at the entrance of the passage tomb at New Grange and witness the birthing of the sun into a world of darkness; the living radiance of light rising up through earthly portals of stone eternity. Though thousands of years and millions of lives have transpired, fundamentally nothing has changed. We may have split the atom, sent men to the moon, succeeded in surgical wonders like organ transplants, yet we are no nearer to understanding than our simple ancestors; in fact I would argue we are probably further from understanding as we have so many more distractions.

Tomorrow bears witness unto the world of today of Divine love; testimony that there exists a greater plan, in which to place our trust. Worry not for tomorrow for it brings hope, and hope springs eternal, born on the promise of a new tomorrow.
