I was supposed to be on my way to Africa...but our flight from Newark to Brussels was delayed for 4 hours, and we missed our Brussels to Entebbe flight. Soo now I'm stuck in Belgium for 3 days having waffles and chocolate, wandering the streets and sampling the beer...I'm a little bit in disbelief. Continental put us up in Novotel Tour Noire for a night, staying in a hostel tonight. We're flying out to Entebbe tomorrow morning first class though, which is good compensation for keeping us delayed in Europe for 2 days. Oh well, an unexpected vacation in Belgium. I need to convert some money to Euros.

Today:

It is a moment of light surrounded on all sides by darkness and oblivion. In the entire history of the universe, let alone in your own history, there has never been another just like it and there will never be another just like it again. It is the point to which all your yesterdays have been leading since the hour of your birth. It is the point from which all your tomorrows will proceed until the hour of your death. If you were aware of how precious it is, you could hardly live through it. Unless you are aware of how precious it is, you can hardly be said to be living at all.

"This is the day which the Lord has made," say the 118th Psalm. "Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Or weep and be sad in it for that matter. The point is to see it for what it is because it will be gone before you know it. If you waste it, it is your life that you're wasting. If you look the other way, it may be the moment you've been waiting for always that you're missing.

All other days have either disappeared into darkness and oblivion or net yet emerged from them. Today is the only day there is; let us, indeed, rejoice and be glad in it!

-Frederick Buechner from Whistling in the Dark
