Borges is my favorite poet. This is one of the many, many reasons.

Thank you for posting this; perfect start to my week!

Needed something to help the academic muse return, and this has helped!

Thanks Michelle and Becky for your inspired and inspiring choices..

I’ll be adding this one to my list of favorite poems. There’s also When I’m An Old Woman by Jenny Josephs, and Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen by Mary Schmidt. (Although Everybody’s Free wasn’t a poem, it was the commencement speech she wished she’d gotten when she graduated.)

But it’s the same message – live life NOW, enjoy the little moments, don’t be too hard on yourself, and don’t wait to be the person you wish you could be.

Because if you don’t know, thats what life is made of,
only moments; don’t lose the now.

That’s amazing.

I first read this in high school Spanish class. Boy was it wasted on teenagers.
