Breaking the Sound of Silence
Ten thousand people, maybe more, people talking without speaking, people hearing without listening... as big as the world has become, as crowded as it has become, our ability to become isolated in the crowd or lost in the masses has increased with it. And yet, deep inside our souls, we are begging to break that isolation, that silence; and in doing so have our voices heard, have someone recognize we are there, and really listen to us. For it is in this acknowledgement we become fully known, we start to heal or progress in our lives, and when we finally truly find joy.
Carpe Diem
Carpe Diem!
A buzz phrase that has become more popular in various forms in recent generations such as YOLO (You only live once).

It is an understanding of the truth, that your tomorrow has yet to be seen by you, but your story of today is determined by your current actions.

Can you master the 'Art of Now'?
